Chess Game

Github Source Code

🗨️ Overview

Chesssss ♛ is a basic chess game where two users can compete against each other in real-time. Along with gameplay, it includes a live chat feature so you can message your opponent during the match. 🗨️

The UI is minimal and functional, but there’s definitely scope for improvements — contributions are more than welcome 🤝.

Before the game starts:

• One user creates a game room and receives a room code.
• The other player must enter the code to join and begin the match.
• Once connected, both users can play chess and chat in real-time.
