Chess Bhaitak: Chess Near Me

Chess Bhaitak is where over-the-board chess happens. Find chess players near you, pick a cafe or
park, and sit down across a real board — no clocks running out on a screen, no strangers rage-
quitting mid-game.

This is not an online chess app. There is no engine, no puzzles, no bots. It does one thing: it gets
you to a table with another human who wanted a game as much as you did.

♟ FIND CHESS PLAYERS NEAR YOU
See who is playing nearby and what they play like. Every player shows a rating band, availability,
and whether they bring their own board. Link your chess.com account and verify it in one tap, so
the person you are meeting knows your strength is real and not a claim.

♟ A MAP OF PLACES TO PLAY
Cafes, parks, clubs and community spots near you, on a map. Tap any place to host a match there.
Venue search is powered by Google Places, so you can pick anywhere — or add your own spot by hand.

♟ HOST A MATCH IN SECONDS
Choose a time, choose a venue, publish. Make it a one-off, or set it to repeat weekly, every two
weeks or monthly and let a regular chess meetup build itself. Add a co-host to share the running of
it.

♟ REQUESTS, INVITES AND SEATS
Players ask to join your match; you accept or decline with one tap. Accepts and cancellations arrive
as notifications even when the app is closed, so nobody is left waiting at a table.

♟ MATCH DAY
Check in when you arrive, check out when you're done, record the result, and leave feedback on the
player and the venue. Your played matches build a history you can look back on.

♟ BUILT FOR MEETING STRANGERS SAFELY
Requesters stay anonymous until a match is confirmed — names and photos only appear once both sides
have agreed to play. Your location is never shown as an address: you appear as an approximate area,
and match pins sit on public venues. Phone numbers stay hidden until check-in. Report or block any
player, any time. Location is coarse-only and never collected in the background.

♟ WORKS ON A BAD CONNECTION
Your matches, requests and nearby lists are cached on the device, so the app opens with real content
instead of a spinner. Accept or decline a request with no signal and it sends itself the moment you
are back online.

STARTED IN PAKISTAN
Chess Baithak was built for the chess baithaks of Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad — the cafe tables
and park benches where the real games have always been played. It works anywhere there is a place to
sit and someone to play.

- Players who want a face-to-face game and don't know where to find one
