Play someone on another device.

Find a rated opponent near your level, or send a friend a link. Either way the server referees every move, so neither board can drift from the other.

Sign in first

Both seats belong to an account, so an online game needs you signed in. It takes two clicks and brings you back here.

You pick a time control and join the queue for it.
The server pairs you with the closest rating it can find, and draws the colours.
Win, lose or draw and both ratings move. A game nobody starts counts for neither of you.

A rematch keeps the kind of game you played: a rated game's rematch is rated.
