Play chess with friends, no sign-up

Send a link. The game starts when your friend opens it. Neither of you needs an account, only a name.

Three ways to play together

• A friend. Choose Invite a friend and send the link. You choose the clock and the rules.
• A group. Start a party: a room for up to eight with a code. Two play, the rest watch, and the winner stays on. Team games seat two to four a side.
• Anyone. Find a match and get a stranger right now.

What you can play

Classic chess, crazy chess, or any game in the Arcade. A few that work well with a group:

• Team chess with a traitor: The Traitor: Team chess. One player is secretly the Traitor.
• 4-player chess: Last Crown: A king and four each. Last army wins.
• Chess football: Crown Cup: Chess football, five a side. First to five.
• Battle Royale: one chess piece, a big map: One unit, a big map, the ground falling. Last one standing.

On the same screen

Two people at one computer can play too: open Custom seats under Play the bots and set both chairs to You.
