Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 27: The recent wins of Gukesh Dommaraju and Koneru Humpy at World Chess Championship 2024 were met with nationwide celebrations. Interest in chess as a sport is at an all-time high. However, chess enthusiasts still struggle to find new platforms to showcase their skills.
To captivate this interest and provide a unique platform for chess players, two IITB alumni and co-founders – Akshat Bansal and Aditya Dubey – founded Ziffi Chess. They worked as senior leaders at Blinkit – leading Blinkit’s entry into 10-minute delivery – before starting Ziffi Chess.
Ziffi Chess has a unique quick-chess format where players can finish a game in 2 minutes, playing only 6 moves. Users get matched with other players across India, according to their skill-level. According to users, it’s a great way to reduce their social media addiction.
