Chess is played against Stockfish, turned down to your level.Play online, no passwordsA public lobby of open tables. Sign in with an emailed link — there is no password anywhere — then sit down at a table, or open one and send the link to a friend.Cards the server dealsIn poker and hearts the server deals and shows each player only their own cards, so nobody can peek through the browser. The table's host can remove a player or call a break.Tested by playingAutomated players play every game to its end, again and again, checking the rules hold at every move — so the odd corner cases are found by us, not by the people playing.What this demonstratesMore than brochure sitesThe platform that runs our clients' websites also runs a live multiplayer games site: tables that update as people play, rules the server enforces, sign-in without passwords. If your business needs something interactive — bookings, quotes, a customer area — this is the kind of work behind it.Talk to us about a project like thisInside the siteBeyond the home pageChess against Stockfish, at whatever level you likeBackgammon — against the computer or a personOn a phoneBuilt for the screen most people useMost games are played on a phone, in a spare minute.
