Checkmate IRL: Chess Clock

the chess you play over the board should count for something.

checkmate irl is the chess clock that makes it count: it saves every result, tracks every rival, and turns your real games into a rating that's yours. built for the board, not the screen.

the clock
a full chess clock: bullet, blitz, rapid, classical, or your own time control. one-tap quick start, automatic move counting, and your opponent confirms the result so your record stays honest. works fully offline.

your rating
earn a real, algorithm-backed rating from every game you play, built on the glicko system, with your full rating history laid out in detail.

daily puzzle
a fresh mate-in-2 or mate-in-3 every day, with hints, a full step-through solution, and your own puzzle rating. works offline too.

streaks & trophy case
a streak that counts the weeks you actually play at the board, plus a trophy case for the badges you earn along the way.

chat & clubs
direct messages between players, plus real-time club chat for your whole group. see someone down to play nearby, then message them to lock in the game.

down to play
flag that you want a game at a venue right now, and see who else is up for it near you.

nearby: players & venues
a map-first nearby tab. discover 2,500+ chess venues in 60+ countries (cafés, clubs, parks and play spots) with photos, ratings and comments, and find the players around you.

clubs
create venue or social clubs, public or private, with announcements, leaderboards and member roles.

tournaments & events
run real events from your phone: swiss-style tournaments with automatic pairings, or casual open-play meetups. live standings and results that count toward your rating.

share
post shareable result cards for your games and tournaments to instagram, whatsapp and more.

checkmate irl is where your real chess lives: every game, every rival, every rating.
