Who can use Board Meeting
This website and its player accounts are operated by Board Meeting Chess Club in Lagos, Nigeria. You must be at least 18 years old to create a player card or play online. By continuing through onboarding, you confirm that you meet this requirement and agree to these terms.
Your account
You can use Google sign-in or a guest seat. Keep access to your device and account secure. Give a display name that does not impersonate someone else, and do not enter another person’s Chess.com username as if it were yours. A username entered here is a link to public information; it does not verify that you own the Chess.com account.
Guest access depends on the session on your device. It is not a promise that a guest account can be recovered later.
Games and fair play
Play fairly. Do not use engines or outside assistance in a game presented as a game between people, interfere with another player’s connection, harass anyone, automate abusive requests, or try to access a game without permission. We may restrict accounts or games that threaten the service or other players.
Invite links and codes can be forwarded. A host should check the joining player’s displayed name and confirmation phrase before approving them. Do not share a private game link publicly if you want the room to stay private.
Games played on Board Meeting do not change your Chess.com rating or account. Any Chess.com ratings shown here come from its public API and may be delayed or unavailable. Board Meeting is not affiliated with or endorsed by Chess.com.
Site content and events
Site artwork, copy and chess-piece designs belong to their respective owners. You may view and share links to the site for personal use. Do not copy or commercially reuse the site’s creative work without permission. Event details and third-party RSVP links can change; confirm current details before travelling.
Availability and responsibility
We work to keep the site and game server available, but connections, third-party services and games can be interrupted. The service is provided as available. Nothing here excludes rights or remedies that cannot legally be excluded. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Board Meeting Chess Club is not responsible for indirect losses caused by interrupted service or third-party sites.
Changes and questions
We may update these terms as the service changes. The effective date above shows the current version. For questions, email help@boardmeetingchess.com. Read the Privacy Notice for how player information is handled.
