Two-player chess on one device

Two players take turns on a computer, tablet or phone: White starts and passes the device after each move. The chess clock works too. When the game ends you can replay it and analyse it with Stockfish.

Playing a friend far away

"Invite a friend" creates a link; send it by WhatsApp or message. The game starts as soon as your friend opens it, and each of you plays on your own device.
