Guides
Eight guides to everything nobody tells you about club chess, in plain words: starting a club, your first night, touch-move, ratings, clocks, notation and who plays whom.
Your Club card
Every game you play at club night now earns crowns, and showing up earns stamps. Crowns walk your pawn up the board toward promotion, on a Club card only you can see.
The homepage
Our new homepage opens on a real board. The pieces wake up, play the first moves on their own, and the rest of the game plays out as you scroll.
For organizers
Open tonight's lobby, print the poster, pair everyone at once, and fix a result without an eraser.
Find your people
Castles are clubs: real rooms, real boards. Gambits are open offers: a game in the park, a meetup, a tournament. Both are here, and both are near you.
Results and ratings
Report a result in one tap. When both players agree, it's stamped and it counts. When they don't, the organizer sorts it out. Nobody has to find a pencil.
Club night
Walk in, scan the code, tap Find me a game. Castle Gambit pairs the room as people arrive and tells each pair where to sit.
Hello, board
An app for the oldest social network in chess: a room, a bag of boards, and whoever turns up on Tuesday.
