How it works

Three steps to your next match

01

Post a game

Pick a date, time, and a public venue near you. Set your vibe: casual, competitive, or a teaching session.

02

Get booked

Other players browse games by area, skill level, and date. Someone finds yours and books it — or you book theirs.

03

Show up & play

Meet at the venue, confirm each other arrived, and play. Leave rating tags and build your reputation.

Why CHIP

Chess is better in person

Real opponents, nearby

Find players in your neighborhood who actually want to sit down and play.

Public venues only

Every game happens at a cafe, park, or restaurant. Safe, social, visible.

Build your reputation

Earn rating tags like Respectful, Punctual, and Great Teacher from real opponents.

Show-up rate

Reliability is visible. Players with confirmed no-shows carry a warning badge so you know before you book.

Your safety matters

For your safety, always choose a public venue like a cafe, restaurant, or park. Never follow someone home before or after a game. CHIP is designed around public, visible spaces — if a situation ever feels off, trust your instincts and leave.
