Rematches and room history
Pick colors and time controls, offer rematches, and keep previous games attached to the room.
Inside the room
A match that feels present.
ChessTV keeps the playing surface, the clock, and the players together. It feels less like sending moves into a website and more like sitting down for a game that happens to be on screen.
Presence
The player is visible
The camera gives the game a human edge without covering the board or slowing the match.
Control
The room stays private
The creator approves the second player before room content becomes visible.
Continuity
The room remembers
Game history, results, clocks, and rematches stay connected to the same private room.
Private rooms
Private face-to-face chess.
Every room is private. The creator controls who joins, and only the accepted two players enter the board, cameras, and chat.
