The "Grandmaster" Circus is a Joke
It’s January 2026, and the chess elite are a mess.
- Kirill Shevchenko is banned until October because he couldn't resist hiding a phone in the bathroom.
- Vladimir Kramnik is still chasing shadows and filing lawsuits.
- FIDE is stuck in the 19th century, begging for "honor" while you grind for zero dollars.
While the "pros" are fighting in court, the smart amateurs have left the building. They moved to RIOCHESS. Why? Because in 2026, your ELO is a credit score, not a trophy. If you aren't cashing out your moves, you're the one being played.
Legacy chess is for ego; RIOCHESS is for your bank account.
Why "Free" Apps are Scams
You think Chess.com or Lichess are "free"? Think again. You are the product. They take your data, sell ads, and give you a digital badge.
In 2026, playing for "points" is a mental disorder. Smart players treat their sessions like a job. On RIOCHESS, every checkmate triggers a secure payout. We’ve replaced the "Good Game" notification with a "Transaction Successful" alert.

The Amateur Strategy for 10X Gains
You don't need a 2800 rating to win. You just need to be a shark in the right pond.
- Exploit Your Tier: RIOCHESS matches you with players in your weight class. Don't try to beat GMs; dominate the 1200-1400 bracket and harvest the stakes.
- Skin in the Game: When you bet on yourself, you stop making "lazy" blunders. Fair play becomes easy when losing means losing real money.
- Secure Your Bags: Use the 2026 blockchain tools to move your winnings to cold storage instantly.
If you’re good at something, never do it for free.
