## NearChess Description
Chess that counts.

Play someone across a real board, scan a QR code, and the game is rated. Your in-person record is the one rating nobody can farm — because you had to show up.

nearChess is a complete chess platform for web, Android and iPhone. One account everywhere. No paid tier, no move limits, nothing locked behind a subscription.

THE IN-PERSON RATING

- Meet someone, scan a QR code, and play a rated game across a real board
- Build a record: games played, opponents faced, cities played in
- Earn the OTB Rated badge after 5 games against 5 different opponents
- Kept separate from your online rating, because facing someone in person is a different thing

PLAY ONLINE
