Offices around the world are empty as flexible working arrangements have become the 'new normal'. Despite being able to maintain our productivity, the issue of social isolation is very real.
Instead of playing chess against an anonymous stranger, or against the computer - we invite you to join us for a Corporate Leagues event. Online yes, but with real people, using real names, having genuine social interactions. One game each week at a time of your choosing, finished in under an hour ...
And best of all, now you can honestly say that playing chess during the day is work!

The Rules are simple: use your own brain, no assistance permitted. No books, no computers, no Armenian Grandmasters from Upwork.
All games are subject to Fair Play analysis by leading chess-cheating expert Prof. Kenneth Regan. If requested, you must be willing to play under close supervision (cameras, screenshare etc). Players who are found to be too-likely to be getting assistance will be removed from the event. And we'll tell your boss. Organisers Fair Play decision is final and we apologise in advance to any future World Champions who get unjustly removed.
