The intellectual matching system assesses and monitors your ability from the moment you start playing at InstantChess.com. Based on your style, chess level and statistics it picks the best opponent for you in realtime. On a daily basis the system evaluates your strengths and weaknesses, matching you with either an opponent of a similar level (so increasing your chances of winning) or a stronger opponent for a more challenging and educating game.

At InstantChess the use of adaptive animation within the gaming platform allows you to see if your opponent is confident, aggressive or anxious about their moves. A slight adjustment of the speed at which your opponent's pieces are moved over the board (based on how quickly or slowly they respond to your moves) will help you understand your opponent even better.

At InstantChess.com we do not believe in fancy design just for the sake of it. With this in mind, every effort has been made to ensure that the chess board and pieces are simple and that there are as few distractions as possible. What we offer at InstantChess is an interface in which the style and look do not distract players, but rather enhance game playability.

The following technologies enable people to play online chess in remote locations and via poor or unstable internet connections. These are essential for InstantChess, which is widely recognised as a truly international chess playing platform, serving people in over 145 countries.
