Opening the room

Connecting your table to a shared, quiet space.

Black plays first.
A few simple rules

Two moves. One push.

Clocks count thinking time without a time limit. Play pauses when either player disconnects. Keep Black’s tab open: it coordinates the room. Reloading the same tab normally restores your seat. White sees the table from White’s side.
