How friend-driven introductions work at Checked Mates

Curated connections. Trusted circles. Real respect.

Checked Mates was created because great people know great people. Our community is built on referrals, intention, and the belief that meaningful connections happen best through trusted circles.

To keep this space warm, welcoming, and worthy of your friends, we ask all members to honor the following:

Bring Strong Pieces.

If you pitch someone, you’re vouching. Only bring players who elevate the board.

Consent Is the First Move.

No surprise checkmates. Only pitch friends who’ve agreed to be in the game.

No Forced Plays.

If it’s not mutual, it’s not a match. Respect the decline and move on gracefully.

Protect the Position.

What happens here stays here. No gossip. No unapproved posts.

Cheer the Gambits.

Celebrate bold intros. Applaud good energy. Root for the sparks.

Play With Integrity.

No harassment. No discrimination. No reckless behavior. Unsportsmanlike conduct = off the board.

Final Rule
Make your move — but make it kindly.
