ChessGrid Map

The ChessGrid is a map of every place chess happens — public chess tables, parks, cafes, chess clubs, and more.

Browsing the map

Open the Map tab to see chess spots near you. Each spot is marked with a pin:

• Pawn icon — public chess tables and parks
• Rook icon — cafes and clubs

Tap a pin to see the spot’s name, type, and how many games have been played there.

Pre-loaded spots

Roquer launches with 285+ chess spots already mapped across the Netherlands. These come from verified public chess table databases, so the map is never empty on day one.

Spot details

Tap a pin to see:

• Spot name and type
• Number of games played
• A link to the spot’s leaderboard (if games have been played there)
• A “Be the first to play!” prompt (if no games yet)

Adding a new spot

Found a chess spot that’s not on the map? You can add it:

1. Long-press on the map where the spot is
2. Enter a name for the spot
3. Choose the type (public table, park, cafe, club, or other)
4. Submit

You need a Roquer account to add spots (the app will prompt you to sign up if you haven’t already).

No account needed to browse

You can browse the ChessGrid and view spot details without creating an account. You only need to sign up when you want to log games or add new spots.
