Chess Match Improvements! ♟️

Howdy, everyone!

If you read our last Patch Notes, you're aware that we made some updates on the Chess Match mode! ♟️

What's new?

We heard you, and we're happy to present the new features available on Chess Match:

Same set option

The opponent set could be any set available on Chessarama, which means that could be different from the one you select.
Now, if you want both chess sets to be the same, you can toggle the option "same set as opponent"!

Time control

The time for each match had a default of 5 minutes only. Now, you have more options based on what's better and more comfortable for you to play:

  • 2 min + 1s (2 minutes to finish the match + 1 second increment per move)
  • 5 min + 5s (5 minutes to finish the match + 5 seconds increment per move)
  • 10 min + 0s (10 minutes to finish the match + no increment per move)
  • 15 min + 15s (15 minutes to finish the match + 15 seconds increment per move)


Whenever you open Chess Match, the default time will be 5 min + 5s.

There's more!

We also made new themed boards that you can use on your matches!
Now you have five board options:

  • Default Board
  • Farmer Board (unlocked after 5800 XP)
  • Soccer Board (unlocked after 8400 XP)
  • Samurai Board (unlocked after 10400 XP)
  • Dragon Board (unlocked after 16000 XP)



That's all the incredible updates on the Chess Match mode! Which one did you like the most? ♟️
