Five Ways to Play

  • Get Coached — live 30 or 60-minute sessions with real community coaches who watch your board live, draw arrows, and guide you in real time. The first platform to pay both the coach and the student.
  • Live — play against real opponents. Earn TKC based on the quality of your moves.
  • Training — play against AI at your skill level. Perfect for practice and improvement.
  • Puzzles — solve tactical chess puzzles. Earn TKC for each puzzle solved.
  • Lessons / Tutorial — structured lessons from beginner to advanced. One lesson per day for integrity.

How You Earn TKC

TKC earnings are based on move quality, not just participation. The better you play, the more you earn.

  • Brilliant move — highest TKC payout. Rare, engine-validated, exceptional play.
  • Good move — solid payout. Correct, principled moves.
  • Inaccuracy — reduced payout. Not wrong, but not the best.
  • Blunder — no TKC earned. A move that significantly hurts your position.
  • Daily cap: 1,000 TKC per user per day across all chess activity.

Real-Time Move Intelligence

Every move is analyzed instantly. The system grades the move, alerts you to danger, shows the projected best line, and offers hints (with a TKC penalty to keep things honest). This is the same level of feedback professional players use — made accessible for everyone.

Wealth Passport Integration

All chess activity builds your Wealth Passport standing across three lanes: Consistency (showing up and playing regularly), Literacy (learning and improving), and Civic (coaching and community contribution). Chess is not just a game — it is a Wealth Passport builder.
