Compete Against Magnus. Beat Your Friends. The Chess Club App That Changes the Game.

What if your rating didn't matter? What if you could defeat Magnus Carlsen?

Same achievement. Same timeframe. Completely level playing field.

That's what Take Take Take's Clubs feature does. And it changes what chess feels like entirely.

The Take Take Take app is available now on iOS and Android.

Chess Challenges That Work for Every Level

Chess has always had an awkward social problem. A 900-rated player and a 1800-rated player can't really play together! You grind games against strangers, your friends who also play are off doing the same thing somewhere else, and nothing connects.

Take Take Take fixes this with a simple idea: challenges based on achievements, not results.

Instead of playing each other head-to-head, everyone competes for the same goals. Most brilliancies in a week. Best accuracy streak. First to hit a puzzle milestone. These are things a 900-rated player can genuinely beat a 1500-rated player at, because they're about consistency, creativity, and showing up.

Challenge Magnus Carlsen on a level playing field. Follow him, join the same challenges, and see how your brilliancy count stacks up against the world champion's.

Set Up Your Club in Two Minutes

Create a club, invite your friends, and pick a challenge.

Your games from chess.com and Lichess pull in automatically, so there's nothing to log manually. The app tracks the relevant stats, updates the leaderboard in real time, and keeps everyone honest. You can run weekly challenges, month-long competitions, or one-off events whenever you feel like it.

The Clubs leaderboard is where things get genuinely competitive. Even among friends who all have different ratings, the standings shift constantly. Achievements reward quality, and quality is something everyone can chase.

Your Games Finally Have Somewhere to Land

Every game you play shows up in a social feed your club can follow. The key moments get picked out automatically, so your friends can see exactly where the game turned.

Wins feel different when someone actually sees them. Losses are easier to shake off when someone's already sent a reaction before you've even closed the app.

Take Take Take is free. Connect your chess.com or Lichess account, set up a club, and run your first challenge today.
