Connected boards
Four board sections form a cross-shaped playing space. Pieces can move across board connections, creating tactical possibilities beyond a conventional chessboard.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF TEAM CHESS
One team. One connected battlefield.
Commilito Scacci began as an idea that stayed with me for more than 30 years. Over the past year, I finally set out to build it.
Instead of playing two separate chess games, teammates compete within one connected playing space. Moves across the board can open new routes, create threats in unexpected places, and change how both teammates approach the position.
It still has the familiar pieces and strategic thinking of chess—but the cross-shaped board creates a different kind of challenge.

ONLINE MULTIPLAYER BETA
Find a game—or host your own.
With a multiplayer beta token, you can browse public games or arrange a private match.
Join a public game
- Open Browse Games to see listed public games and how many people are in each.
- Select a game and click Join.
- The host receives your request and can admit or decline it.
A public listing does not mean entry is automatic; the host controls admission.
Host a game
- Public: your game appears in Browse Games. You can optionally add a password, and you still control admission.
- Private: players need the game password to request access.
Private games are useful when you've arranged a match with friends or a group in advance.
Still in beta: the easiest way to get a match going is to arrange a time with other players ahead of time.
