Chess meets the real world.
Find players near you. Challenge them OTB. Build your legend.
How OTB!GO works
Open the map
See chess players active near you in real time. Each player is represented by their character class — Knights, Bishops, Queens, and more.
Issue a challenge
Tap a player's pin and send a challenge. Agree on a location — a café, a park, a library. Show up and play over the board.
Level up your legend
Win matches to earn EXP and coins. Unlock new character cosmetics. Climb local and global leaderboards. Build your chess identity.
Built for the chess community
Find players,
not just games.
The map shows real players near you — at coffee shops, libraries, parks. Chess is a social game. OTB!GO makes the social part easy.
Every game
builds your legend.
Win OTB matches to earn EXP and coins. Unlock character cosmetics, climb leaderboards, and build a reputation in your local chess scene.
The game screen
you've been waiting for.
Track your live match, see your character face off against your opponent, and watch your ELO update in real time after every game. Chess has never felt this alive.
Choose your class.
Six character classes, each with unique cosmetics to unlock as you progress. Your character is your chess identity.
