About ChessOX
ChessOx is an online chess platform built for people who want to play, improve and compete without friction. It runs in any modern browser, with no download, and the core of it — playing chess, solving puzzles and learning the game — is free.
How ChessOx Works
Every move in an online game is validated on our servers rather than in your browser, so results and ratings cannot be forged. Games, puzzle progress, ratings and tournament standings are stored against your account, which means your history follows you across devices. Fair play is enforced through server-side validation, statistical review and player reports, and is described in full in our Fair Play & Anti-Cheating Policy.
