Real-time multiplayer chess playable across firewalls, no login required
Visit family-chess.quee.org ↗What is Family Chess?
Family Chess is an online chess game designed for players in restrictive network environments, particularly those behind firewalls or in regions with limited access to global services. It requires no login, instead using shareable 8-digit game IDs to connect players. The interface is mobile-friendly with click-to-move controls, and all assets are hosted locally to ensure reliability regardless of network restrictions.
The game supports real-time move synchronization using Server-Sent Events and includes multilingual support for English and Chinese. The maker built it with Claude Code to enable family members separated by geography and network boundaries to play together, using straightforward Django backend technology with client-side JavaScript.
