Start at the Bottom
Every new fighter enters at 800 ELO (Rookie). Your external rating is acknowledged, but you must prove it here.
Earn Your Stripes
Win matches to increase your ELO. After 10+ matches with consistent wins, your rating becomes "proven".
No Entry Caps
Play for any amount from $1 to $10,000. Your division determines matchmaking, not entry limits.
Link Your Chess Account
Connect Chess.com or Lichess.org. Your external rating is displayed but your ELOXP division is determined by proven performance.
ELOXP Skill Points
Earn ranking points for every tactical move. 47 tracked chess actions. Performance-adjusted ratings. Your true skill, measured.
Skill Points ≠ Currency
ELOXP points measure your chess skill and determine your division ranking. Winnings are paid in USD.
Track ELOXP While You Play
Our Chrome Extension overlays a live HUD on Lichess and Chess.com, showing real-time ELOXP gains as you execute tactics, captures, and checkmates.
