Run a chess tournament without setting up accounts.
Create a tournament, send each player a link, and play. Players need no account and nothing to install. The games, clocks and standings are handled for you.
How it works
- Create the tournamentChoose a name, a start time and the number of players. You log in with your email, no password.
- Share the linksEach player gets their own link. They open it, type a name and wait in the room.
- PlayGames start by themselves with a countdown. Standings update live and can be shown on a projector.
For organizers
You only need an email address. We send you a login link, and we send a new one whenever your session has expired.
Schools, chess clubs and workplace groups are the main use. Tournaments are private: only people with a link can join.
For players
Got a link? Open it, pick a name and you are in. Keep the link: it is your seat, and you can come back to it any time during the tournament.
Player names and games are deleted 7 days after the tournament starts, unless the organizer has saved it. Read the privacy policy.
