## Description

VERY ALPHA EXPECT BUGS AND CHANGES!!!

AI DISCLAIMER USED IT A LOT HERE! NOT SORRY! COMPLAIN ON GITHUB!

So anyway. Do you like chess? This is chess. It works from all the ways I tested. If you're the kind of chess nerd this was meant for it will hopefully catch your attention.

Right now people in session with you can play. If you're a liches user you can auth with that and play rapid randomly matched games or send challenges for down to blitz games to other users with or without a share link. Eventually all active sessions will join a matchmaking/lobby pool on the backend so users across sessions can find people to play with even if they aren't on lichess.

Even more features coming soon.

Talk about it on the discord:

Complain about it on the github:
