Lichess is free but feels like 2006. Chess.com is polished but paywalls its best features — coaching, deep analysis, tournament access. Neither integrates learning, communication, and competitive play into one experience. SynapChess combines the best of both — Glicko-2 ratings across 19 variants, AI coaching from your actual moves, real-money tournaments, and WhatsApp-grade in-game video. All free. All ad-free. All open.
Walk through the full game experience — from instant guest play to Glicko-2 rated matches, AI coaching, and real-money tournaments.

SynapChess demonstrates the full stack CAMTECH AI brings to every engagement.
Chess has two dominant platforms and neither is complete. Lichess is technically excellent but its UX is dated and gamification is absent. Chess.com offers polish but its most useful features are paywalled and in-game communication stops at basic chat. Neither platform integrates learning, communication, and competitive play into a single coherent experience.
SynapChess synthesizes the best of Lichess (variant richness, Glicko-2, free core), Chess.com (polished events, bot ecosystem), Duolingo (streaks, XP, guided paths), and WhatsApp (real-time in-game chat + video). On top of that: AI coaching grounded in your actual moves. Powered by CAMTECH AI.
Cross-platform product delivery from a single Flutter codebase — iOS, Android, Web, macOS, Windows, Linux, Apple Watch, and Wear OS — 8 surfaces, 1 team, zero platform-specific forks. Supabase two-project architecture with RLS, Realtime, Edge Functions, and pg_cron at scale — SSO/OWN topology designed for multi-product auth under one identity. AI integration (Stockfish engine + CAMTECH AI coaching engine) as a first-class product layer — post-game analysis, adaptive puzzle generation, and personalized coaching from actual player moves. WebRTC peer-to-peer video during active matches without server-side media handling.
