Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 27:<\/strong> <\/span>The recent wins of Gukesh Dommaraju and Koneru Humpy at World Chess Championship 2024 were met with nationwide celebrations. Interest in chess as a sport is at an all-time high. However, chess enthusiasts still struggle to find new platforms to showcase their skills.<\/p>\n

To captivate this interest and provide a unique platform for chess players, two IITB alumni and co-founders – Akshat Bansal and Aditya Dubey – founded Ziffi Chess. They worked as senior leaders at Blinkit – leading Blinkit\u2019s entry into 10-minute delivery – before starting Ziffi Chess.<\/p>\n

Ziffi Chess has a unique quick-chess format where players can finish a game in 2 minutes, playing only 6 moves. Users get matched with other players across India, according to their skill-level. According to users, it\u2019s a great way to reduce their social media addiction.<\/p>\n

\u201cGrowing up, I used to play chess all the time. But then I lost touch due to work and family responsibilities,\u201d said Muskan Badoria, a housewife from Indore. \u201cZiffi Chess lets me reconnect with my childhood passion. I\u2019ve completely stopped wasting my time on reels now.\u201d<\/p>\n

To get started, users can go to\u00a0<\/a>https:\/\/ziffichess.com\/chess<\/a>\u00a0and download the game. In addition to 1-on-1 \u201cbattle mode\u201d games, Ziffi also provides tournaments with exciting rewards.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m passionate about chess so I spend a lot of time and effort practicing and playing in tournaments,\u201d said Abishek K, a young professional. \u201cZiffi gives me the opportunity to play challenging games anytime I want. It\u2019s a great way to improve my skills while having fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ziffi Chess is set to cross 10 lakh users across India, making it the biggest chess platform of its kind. It has raised \u20b98 crores, led by venture capital firm IndiaQuotient, to fuel their expansion.<\/p>\n
