About Us
Hey, we're SmallChess.
SmallChess is designed and built by a focused team of experienced engineers deeply committed to shaping better chess tools. We care about quality, simplicity, and user empowerment—just like you.
We're dedicated to creating the chess software we believe in—powerful, transparent, and empowering for everyone. When you talk to SmallChess, you talk directly to the people who built it.
We're not here to convince you how broken other chess apps are—we believe you, and everyone else, already knows. It's not about awareness; it's the lack of better alternatives.
SmallChess is a new kind of platform. Not bloated, not another clone—it's your own corner of the chess world. A personal toolkit where your games, your analysis, and your progress are fully yours.
Built by passion. Owned by you.
Secured by those who care.
The foundation of better chess software: one that belongs to players, not platforms.
