Blitzmate
Fast chess. Real stakes.
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Now on iPad, full screen. Stake coins on bullet, blitz or rapid chess against real opponents, chat as you play — winner takes the pot.
Blitzmate is fast chess with something on the line.
Pick a time control, put coins in the pot, and play a real person. Winner takes it.
ON IPHONE AND IPAD
Blitzmate runs full-screen on both, in portrait or landscape on iPad, with a board sized to the screen you are holding.
TIME CONTROLS
• Bullet — 1 or 2 minutes, with or without increment. Pure instinct.
• Blitz — 3 or 5 minutes, with or without increment. Sharp and tactical.
• Rapid — 10 or 15 minutes, with or without increment. Room to think.
Clocks run on our servers, not your phone, so a laggy connection never costs you a game you were winning.
STAKE AND WIN
Choose your stake before the match. Both players put in the same number of coins and the winner takes the pot. Draws return your stake.
Coins are a virtual in-game currency. They have no cash value, cannot be withdrawn, and cannot be exchanged for money or goods.
WAYS TO GET COINS
• Free coins when you sign up, and a bonus every day you come back
• Complete free offers and surveys in the Free Coins section — availability varies by country
• Buy a coin pack, if you want to
You never have to spend anything to keep playing.
NEW TO IT?
A short guided tutorial walks you through your first game against a practice bot. Every staked match after that is against a real person, never a computer.
CLIMB THE RANKS
Every result moves your rating. Track your wins, your streak and your biggest pot, and see where you land on the leaderboard.
PLAY YOUR FRIENDS
Challenge anyone by username, chat during the game, and settle it over the board.
FAIR PLAY
Every move is validated on our servers, and so is every clock and every coin. Nothing about a match is decided on a player device. We record device and network information during games to detect cheating.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
This is a big update — everything below has landed since the version you have.
NOW ON IPAD
Blitzmate is a full iPad app: full-screen, portrait or landscape, with a much bigger board.
CHAT DURING THE GAME
Talk to your opponent without leaving the board. The chat strip is always visible, the board stays fully playable while you type, and you can still offer or accept a draw with chat open.
FEEL EVERY MOVE
Haptic feedback on captures, checks, checkmate, low time and more.
FAIRER GAMES
• Colours are now random each game, and a rematch swaps them
• Rematch reliably reconnects both players
• Every result is recorded correctly, including how the game ended
FREE COINS, CLEARER
The Free Coins section now tells you exactly what is happening — whether it is loading, temporarily unavailable, or waiting on a permission — instead of an endless spinner. Offers and surveys no longer promise new items that do not arrive.
Blitzmate is rated 13+, so this version shows only offers the provider flags as games. The Offers tab may be empty in some regions; surveys are unaffected.
NEW PLAYERS
• The tutorial no longer skips ahead, and your 50 starting coins stay yours
• The daily bonus now arrives the day after you sign up, as intended
FIXES THROUGHOUT
• The keyboard no longer covers what you are typing
• Chat rows are no longer clipped on phones with a home indicator or navigation bar
• A slow or dropped connection now fails quickly and clearly instead of spinning forever
• Switching accounts no longer shows the previous account's data
Coins have no cash value and cannot be withdrawn or exchanged for money.
