The appeal of chess inside Telegram is simple: your conversations and your board can share the same app. Web3Chess opens as a Mini App, so you can try the experience from a Telegram link.
Start with practice
Open Web3Chess and choose Free Coach practice. Get comfortable with moving pieces and watching the clock before choosing a player match. The Academy gives you another route into the game through lessons and tactical puzzles.
Understand notifications
The bot can notify you when an opponent is found. Follow the current in-app instructions and return promptly when a match is ready. Closing a screen does not mean that an active game clock pauses.
Player matches have stakes
Player matches use equal USDT stakes from platform balances. Read the current rules, eligibility and fees before confirming. In a decided match, settlement credits the winner’s platform balance; it does not promise an immediate transfer to a personal wallet.
Keep wallet steps separate
A connected personal wallet and a Web3Chess platform balance serve different roles. A personal-wallet swap does not automatically fund the platform. Deposits require the network, token and reference shown in the app, and withdrawals follow their own confirmation steps.
Wager matches are 18+, subject to local availability, and you can lose your stake. Free Coach practice gives you a way to learn without committing one.
