## What it is
A multiplayer online chess platform built with React, Node.js, and TypeScript, using dedicated WebSocket servers for real-time gameplay and Redis for move queuing. It supports user sign-up, matchmaking, live move play, and an Elo-style rating system.

## Use cases
- play chess online against other players in real time
- self-host a multiplayer chess server
- matchmaking for chess games with rating system
- learn how to build real-time games with websockets
- track chess rating like standard Elo
- run a chess tournament platform locally

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted real-time chess platform
- you want a TypeScript monorepo example of websockets, Redis, and Postgres working together
- you need matchmaking and Elo rating out of the box

## When to avoid
- you need a polished production chess site with mobile apps
- you need single-player play against a chess engine/AI
- you require a permissively licensed project since this repo has no license file
