Chapper.nl

About this app

Roquer turns every real-world chess spot into a competitive arena — with a map of every place chess happens, a pro-grade clock, and persistent leaderboards.
No organizer needed. No tournament fees. Just sit down, play, and climb.
🗺️ THE CHESSGRID
A map of every place chess happens. Pre-loaded with 285+ verified public chess tables across the Netherlands — parks, plazas, waterfront spots. Chess piece pins show you what's nearby: rooks for venues, pawns for public tables.
Discover spots you never knew existed. Tap any pin for details. Navigate there with one tap.
🕐 THE CLOCK
A chess clock built for serious play. Drift-proof timing powered by frame-level precision. Haptic feedback on every tap. OLED-optimized with chess-inspired color themes — cream for White, rich brown for Black. Low-time warnings with red pulse. Tap sounds. Asymmetric time controls for advanced players. Supports bullet, blitz, rapid, and custom time controls.
The clock works offline, no account required. Use it anywhere, anytime.
🏆 LEADERBOARDS
Every spot has a persistent monthly leaderboard. Play a rated match and your name appears. Come back next month and defend your position. Track your wins, streaks, and rating over time.
View any player's public profile. See their record, favorite time controls, and most-played spots.
🤝 PLAY WITH A FRIEND
Create a ranked match, share a 4-character code, and your opponent joins instantly. One phone on the table — shared clock, both players rated. Your match counts toward the spot leaderboard automatically.
Or use the clock solo — no account needed, no strings attached.
🏅 LEAGUES
Spots can run private leagues. Join the league, and compete against fellow members on a filtered leaderboard. Perfect for your local chess café or park group.
