IndiaMate
Free chess platform for India in Hindi, Tamil & Telugu
India's #1 online chess platform. Play chess free in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada. Rated games, daily puzzles, Elo leaderboard — built for India.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Junaid, a college student from India
with zero budget and a simple frustration —
chess platforms like Chess.com and Lichess
are amazing but entirely in English.
India has 50+ million chess players. We
produced Viswanathan Anand, Praggnanandhaa
and Gukesh — world class champions. But my
cousins in smaller towns couldn't even
navigate the interface. My grandmother knows
shatranj but never played online in her life.
So I spent 3 months building IndiaMate 🇮🇳♟️
What I built with zero budget:
→ Live multiplayer against real global players
→ 20 level AI opponent named Maya
→ Daily puzzles updated every day
→ Full Hindi, Tamil, Telugu & Kannada UI
→ Elo rating system like real chess
→ 100% free — no paywalls ever
Tech stack for the curious:
Next.js 14 + Socket.io + Supabase + Tailwind
⚠️ Honest warning — it runs on free hosting
so first load takes ~20 seconds. Please wait
for it — worth it I promise 😄
I would love brutal honest feedback from this
community. What should I build next? What is
broken? What would make you switch from
Chess.com?
Ask me anything — I will reply to every
single comment today 🙏
