Play chess with Sam
Fancy a slow game of chess with our founder? The board below is a real Lichess board on this page — explore positions, then challenge Sam when you are ready. No clock pressure: pick a calm time control and play when it suits you.
You can move the pieces here to think. To play a real game against Sam, use the challenge button — that opens Lichess so both of you stay signed in and notified.
How it works
- Make a free Lichess account (or play as a guest for a casual game). Lichess is open source, free, and has no ads.
- Tap Challenge Sam. You will land on Lichess ready to send a friend challenge to soulsupport.
- Pick a calm time control — correspondence or a longer game works best so neither of you is rushed.
- Make your move when it suits you. Lichess keeps the game and sends turn notifications.
Why Lichess? It is open source, free, and built for embedding — so the board can live on our site without us inventing a chess engine. It is just for fun, and a friendly way to say hello.
