Connected play · planned

Your chess world. A little more focused.

Your opponents, your friends, your familiar chess routines. We are working toward bringing Chess.com and Lichess to Chess, again, so the board in your hands can connect to the chess world you already enjoy.

Follow the project

Keep the community. Change the setting.

The goal is not to create another place where you need to find opponents from scratch. We want familiar services to remain part of the experience, with the game presented on a dedicated handheld. A quiet evening game could still be a game with someone on the other side of the world.

A connection that earns your trust.

Connecting a personal account needs to be straightforward, and the device should explain what is supported before you sign in. We will confirm available platforms, game types, account requirements and connection steps as development progresses. Platform rules and integration permissions will shape what we can offer.

Know what is planned and what is ready.

Chess.com and Lichess support are development goals, not live integrations in this concept. The images show the design direction. They do not demonstrate a working connection, and we are not claiming an official partnership. Join the waiting list to hear when we have something concrete to show.

A couple of useful questions.

Can I connect my account today?

No. This is a product concept and waiting list. Connected account support is planned and will be confirmed before orders open.

Will I need a platform subscription?

Account and subscription requirements are not confirmed. Any platform costs or limitations will be explained before purchase.
