Overview

PVPChess is a ranked chess platform where players stake SOL on timed games against opponents near their skill level. Winners take the pot minus a small platform fee.

Sign up, complete three free placement games, deposit SOL to your in-app balance, then join matchmaking or send a challenge link. Both players' stakes go to escrow before the clock starts.

Games use a five-minute clock with two seconds added after each move. Results are server-authoritative.

Choose from fixed USD tiers between $5 and $100. Winners receive 95% of the pot after post-game review. Draws split the pot after the platform fee.

Every staked game is analyzed for suspicious play. Payouts are held until checks complete. Cheating leads to strikes, bans, and forfeiture.

Staked matchmaking, challenge links, ELO placement, leaderboards, community feed, and in-app wallet balance with one-click staking after deposit.
