Leaderboard
See how you stack up against the best CheckmateX players. Rankings are tracked across three categories: ELO rating earned from online multiplayer games, Mastery points from completing openings training, and Puzzle scores based on accuracy and speed in puzzle challenges. Climb the ranks, compete for the top spots, and track your improvement over time.
ELO Rating Leaderboard
ELO ratings are calculated from online multiplayer games on CheckmateX. Win games to gain rating points, lose to drop. The system adjusts based on your opponent's strength — beating a higher-rated player earns more points. Categories include Blitz (3+2), Rapid (10+5), and Classical (30+10) time controls. All players start at 1200 ELO.
Mastery Points Leaderboard
Mastery points are earned by completing opening variations in the Openings Trainer. Each variation you master adds to your score. The leaderboard tracks total mastery across all 50+ openings — from the Sicilian Defense to the Queen's Gambit. The most dedicated trainers with the deepest repertoire knowledge rise to the top.
Puzzle Score Leaderboard
Puzzle scores are based on accuracy and speed in daily puzzle challenges and Puzzle Trouble mode. Solve tactical puzzles — forks, pins, skewers, checkmates — to climb the rankings. Streak bonuses reward consistency, and speed bonuses reward quick pattern recognition.
