Welcome to ChesSOS

At ChesSOS you can play turn-based chess (and also Fischer Random) - similar to correspondence chess - playing many games at once over a period of days, weeks or months.

Getting Started
First you need to register a user name. Then try starting a new game or joining an open game which was started by someone else. Keep track of the games you are playing by checking your games list.

The playing board looks something like this...
