Ready to learn something new? Build your chess skills in Duolingo – then challenge a friend to a match.

Quick take: Head to the Matches tab (tap the chessboard icon) to send an invite – your opponent will have three minutes to accept. From there, jump into a rapid-fire, 10-minute game.

More to explore: Play against your in-app chess coach, Oscar, to warm up before playing a friend. He adapts to your level as you progress through the course.
