Thanks for helping test Million Chess while it is still in beta. Things will break, change, and get wiped. Your patience and feedback are appreciated.

Goals of the beta

The long-term goal of Million Chess is to run one million games at once. That is a massive social chess experiment where millions of players each make one move when it is their faction's turn. This beta is a small first step toward that.

1. Technical test: can the site handle real players, assignments, moves, and load without breaking?
2. Gameplay test: is the one-move-per-player, faction-vs-faction format actually fun?

Your play, bug reports, and honest feedback on both points help decide what to fix and scale next.

What to expect

• The site currently runs with a cap of 50 concurrent games. When that limit is reached, new games cannot start until slots free up.
• Most or all games and progress will likely be wiped after the beta. Do not treat beta stats, ratings, or history as permanent.
• Features, rules, and limits may change without notice during testing.

Feedback & bugs

Sharing the beta

Feel free to invite friends you think would enjoy testing. Private shares are welcome. Please do not promote the beta in public places (social posts, forums, ads, etc.). We want a smaller, manageable test group before opening up more widely.
