Lets you play chess directly inside a Telegram chat, with the board rendered as text rather than images or a separate app. As of 13 September: the bot had 91.3K users over 30 days. Moves are entered as text, recognized by the bot, and reflected on the board, which updates after each move from the opponent. It suits quick one-on-one games without switching between apps: open the chat and make a move. The format favors the game itself over visual polish, since the text board stays compact and readable even on a small phone screen with limited space. There is no separate website or store involved, everything runs through the exchange of text messages in the chat.
