Pay as you Play

Explore Checkmate's Pay-as-you-Play system in Pro Mode. Learn about flexible entry fees, prize pools, and how to participate in competitive chess matches.

Players not opting for the Pro Pass can still enjoy competitive play on Checkmate.live by purchasing tokens for tournament entry or buying a competition chess set. To ensure fair play, you must complete 30 games to be rated and undergo verification before participating. This option is ideal for those seeking a flexible competitive experience.
