Three ways to start a game
From the invite to a friend to the tournament with the whole crowd, the game is always a few taps away.
Search
With someone at your level
Pick the time control, and the search pairs you with whoever has the rating closest to yours at that time control.
Tournament
With the whole crowd
Set up a live arena or an unhurried tournament in groups. Pairing, standings and bracket come out by themselves.
Nobody around? The computer plays in five levels, from beginner to master.
Everything a good game asks for
What you expect from a good chess site, without what gets in the way.
From bullet to daily
Live games of 1, 3, 5 and 10 minutes, or 1 and 3 days per move, to play at your own pace.
A rating for each time control
Bullet, blitz, rapid and daily have separate ratings, with the Glicko system. In a few games it finds your level.
Game review
Finished? Stockfish goes over it move by move, points out inaccuracies and mistakes and shows what it would have played.

Frequently asked questions
Is Gambitagem free?
Yes. Creating an account and playing is free: games with friends, opponent search, tournaments and games against the computer.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Gambitagem runs in the browser, on your phone and on your computer. If you want, it works as an app on your phone, just tap "Get it here" on the home page.
How do I play chess online with a friend?
Create a game, pick the time control and send them the link. When they open the link and sign in, the game starts, with colors drawn.
How does the rating work?
Each account has a rating for bullet, blitz, rapid and daily, calculated with the Glicko system. Everyone starts at 1200, and the first games move the number a lot, until it reaches your level. Every game between two people is rated.
Can I play without rushing?
Yes. In a daily game each player has 1 or 3 days per move, and you are notified when it's your turn.
Can I play against the computer?
Yes. There are five levels, from beginner to master, powered by Stockfish. Games against the computer aren't rated.
What does Gambitagem do with my data?
It keeps only what the game needs: the account, the games and the preferences. Your e-mail never shows to another player, and no data is sold. The details are in the Privacy policy.
