We have created a fully-functional chess game board system for use in Decentraland. It allows legal moves by clicking on pieces and then clicking on the destination square or piece.
There is an optional chess clock, and you can get information about the game. A leaderboard is also present.
6 Chess Boards are currently deployed in Park in the Conference Center:
Here is the Chess System User Guide

Please observe courtesy, especially when games are being played. Thank you.
Use Web Browser or the Legacy Installed Client
The new “V2 Beta” Client in Decentraland still has issues, especially that you don’t see all other people present in a scene, and some other issues, so for the time being, use the Web client or the legacy installed client v 0.1.55
To use the Legacy Installed Client (version 0.1.55)
If you don’t have the old installed DCL Client handy, you can:
- Download its installer here:
https://dclconf.com/content/3DChess/Install-Decentraland-V1.zip - Unzip the zip file
- Run the extracted “Install-Decentraland.exe” installer
- When it asks you to log in, be sure to use the wallet address you you wish to use when playing.
To use the Web Client:
Browsers can get into a “flashing” mode probably due to being low on memory. Reducing the draw distance can help. The Brave browser seems to exhibit this less than Chrome
To use a Web Browser client, do the following:
- Use this url to go to the 3DChess tournament location: https://decentraland.org/play/?position=4%2C106
- If you see a page with a “Continue with MetaMasi”, click on that
- You may be asked to log into MetaMask. if so, do so . If you are registered for a Tournament, be sure to use the Ethereum address you will use to play.
- In the black popup “Open Decentraland Launcher” click “Cancel
- On the “Continue on Desktop” popup, click “Continue with outdated web version:
- Click the red Jump into Decentraland
