♟ Master Moves — The Complete Chess Experience for Second Life - https://sl-chess.com
Full-featured chess with a smart cloud AI, online ELO ranking, and tournament-grade timers.
Play solo, duel a friend, or test yourself against a real chess engine — all with zero sim lag.
═══ GAME MODES ═══
• SOLO — Play both sides yourself (training / analysis)
• DUEL — Challenge a nearby player in a 1v1 match. Picks Ranked or Casual after selecting your opponent. Your opponent gets an Accept / Decline dialog before the game starts — no more surprise games
• AI OPPONENT — Play against a real chess engine, no second player needed. Choose to play as White, Black, or Random
◦ Rookie — easy & fun, perfect for beginners
◦ Smart — balanced, a fair challenge
◦ Genius — advanced strategic play
═══ RANKED OR CASUAL — YOUR CHOICE ═══
Every duel starts with a quick prompt: Ranked or Casual.
• RANKED — counts on the leaderboard, updates your ELO, recorded for replay
• CASUAL — fully private. No ELO change, no leaderboard entry, no replay, no public trace
Perfect for training before a tournament, keeping your openings and strategies to yourself, teaching a beginner without trashing their stats, or simply playing a friendly match off the record. Your games, your choice.

The best chess board with the best, friendliest, and fastest service, 10 stars
This is without a doubt the best chess board on the market, and its creator is without a doubt one of the most dedicated and accessible people I have met on the marketplace. I contacted him for a request for this board and in less than 30 minutes he had already worked out the changes for me. 5 stars is very little, I would definitely give it 10 stars. Quick and friendly service from you, hi5 Niko. Thank you very much.
