How It Works

• Card Staking: Players stake cards from their collection as their commitment to the match.

• Balancing Stakes: Value differences between players' stakes are equalized using Checkmate credits.

• Strategic Chess Play: The chess match follows the selected game type and time control, with the winner determined by skill in the chosen format.

• Rewards for the Winner: The victor claims all the staked cards, minus a small fee for Checkmate and the Community Treasury.
