- Use your referral link in Telegram so we can track the players you invite and reward you and your referral with additional SION.

🎄 Chessio Advent Calendar: Day 20 🎄

Play Classical Chess!

While classical time control may not be the most ideal for online play, it is available on our platform! Today, we encourage you to play unhurried and thoughtful games. Use this opportunity to test your opening ideas or set traps for your opponents. ♟️

🔹 Why try it:
- Classical control gives a higher chance to end games with a checkmate or draw rather than a timeout.
- You can play faster if both you and your opponent agree to a more dynamic pace.

🔹 Analyze your games:
After each match, use our analysis module to review your game and improve your skills. 💡

🔹 A chance for everyone:
The classical chess leaderboard on our platform is not yet crowded, giving you a great opportunity to climb to the top and make your mark!

Enjoy the measured pace of classical chess and take your skills to the next level. Good luck!

Best regards, Your Chessio Team ❤️♟️

🎄 Chessio Advent Calendar: Day 19 🎄

🎄 Chessio Advent Calendar: Day 18 🎄

Play Ultra!

Our platform is designed for the fastest chess — Ultra! Since Chessio is fully developed in-house (frontend and backend), even the smallest internet delays are accounted for in the timer, making these games as precise as possible. ♟️

🔹 What is Ultra:
- Games with a total time of just 15 seconds per match.
- No time increment per move.
- A challenge that demands lightning-fast reactions and pure intuition!

🔹 Recommendations:
- Play Ultra games on large computer screens with a mouse for maximum efficiency.
- Use the pre-move feature to save time and stay ahead.

🔹 Why try Ultra:
- Ultra is not only thrilling but also a chance to climb the top rankings! The Ultra mode leaderboard still has room for new challengers, so today might be your opportunity to shine.

Try this exhilarating pace of play and share your experience with our community. Wishing you success and an unforgettable gaming experience!

Best regards, Your Chessio Team ❤️♟️

🎄 Chessio Advent Calendar: Day 16 🎄

Play Blind Chess!

Another unique feature on our platform is Blind Chess. This format was developed not so long ago but has already become a favorite for many players. ♟️

Today, we invite you to try this exciting variation and enhance your skills in remembering positions. It’s a great way to challenge yourself and bring diversity to your chess adventures.

🔹 How to create a game:
Blind Chess can only be created through the platform’s interface. Once created, you can always share the game link or a QR code if your opponent is nearby.

🔹 Special Feature:
Blind games are friendly and do not affect your rating. This allows you to experiment and enjoy the experience without any worries.

We wish you success and an enjoyable Blindfold Chess experience!

Best regards, Your Chessio Team ❤️♟️

🎄 Chessio Advent Calendar: Day 15 🎄

Play Rapid!

Today, we invite you to enjoy games with Rapid time control, which allows for more thoughtful moves and complex chess combinations. ♟️

🔹 How to complete the task:
- Create battles with sets for rapid games.
- Organize tournaments to increase the number of games played with this time control.
- Challenge opponents to a duel in our chat using the bot or through the platform’s lobby.

Thank you to all active participants for your support!

Best regards, Your Chessio Team ❤️♟️

🎄 Chessio Advent Calendar: Day 14 🎄

Play Tilda Increment!

Today, we invite you to explore another unique feature of our platform — Tilda Increment. This innovative time control deserves your attention! ♟️

🔹 How it works:
You can’t accumulate more time than you had at the start of your move, but you can regain time if your move takes less than the increment duration. A perfect way to balance speed and precision!

🔹 How to create Tilda games:
- In any Telegram chat, use the following command with our bot: ChessioBot 3~2, where the ~ symbol represents Tilda control.
- Alternatively, use the app interface: replace + with ~ by simply clicking on it when setting up your game.

🔹 Remember:
Only fair and diverse games will be counted. Show the community who truly enjoys playing on our platform!

Best of luck with today’s challenge, and as always, happy playing!

Best regards, Your Chessio Team ❤️♟️

🎄 Chessio Advent Calendar: Day 13 🎄

Battles!

Hello everyone! Today we’d like to introduce you to another unique feature of our platform — Battles. These are sets of games and various rounds that let you determine who is stronger. If you enjoy playing more than one or two games with your friends at a time, this is exactly what you need! ♟️

🔹 How it works:
- Create your own battle with your preferred settings.
- Challenge an opponent to a duel.

🔹 Special feature:
For resolving tied series, a unique Armageddon mode is available.

🔹 What counts:
