If you’re a FIDE-registered player, syncing your FIDE ID automatically links your official rating and helps you avoid false flags in the Sixth-i anti-cheat system when you first start playing. No more Zoom is required—our Checkmate Live Arbiter Mode and in-platform video system handle all online supervision. For events like Echess (officially rated Federation competitions with online supervised play) and Pro Mode high-stakes tournaments (where you earn USDC), Arbiter Mode is mandatory to ensure a fair and compliant competitive environment.
Compete Under Your Real Name: For Federation events, you must compete under your real name.
Tournament Stage Compliance: In Checkmate Live tournaments, especially during playoff or finals stages, your real name (collected during FIDE ID sync) is visible to tournament admins and the public.
Regulatory Compliance: You must comply with FIDE Laws of Chess and Fair Play Rules for Online Competitions with Supervision.
Go to Settings: Click your profile picture (PFP) to access your settings.

Verify via KYC: Complete the KYC verification process.
Verify Your FIDE ID: Follow the prompts to sync and verify your FIDE ID.
Increase Your Fair Play Score: Once complete, your Fair Play score will increase, and you'll be ready for FIDE token-gated events.
