Crazy Chess Battles was built for one reason: to give chess players a place to compete, earn, and grow — without needing a credit card or a foreign bank account.
Deposit with mobile money. Play opponents at your level. Win tournaments and get paid to your phone. Simple as that.
Hi, my name is Arthur Chibondo, and I learned how to play chess in 2017 when I was in Form 3 at Zomba Catholic Secondary School.
I was not a very good player, but I loved the game such that given the opportunity I was playing.
The first time I played online chess was in 2022 when I joined chess.com, and I loved the whole experience.
In 2025, I found myself spending too much time playing chess on my phone, such that I once searched for the concept of chess addiction because I felt addicted.
“Do you go to tournaments?”
“You are always on chess!”
“You have 5 chess apps? Damn!”
“Are you that good at chess?”
“Did you play in the Vice Chancellor's Trophy?”
People would ask me.
But no.
I have never been so good at chess to compete at the big stage.
Which is why I created Crazy Chess Battles.
So that I could find people like me who were willing to join a battle, and compete in a tournament.
Today, Crazy Chess Battles is more than just battles — it's a full competitive ecosystem with weekly XP leagues, tournaments, season rankings and a growing chess community. We're building the future of competitive chess in Africa, one match at a time.
Crazy Chess Battles brings players together in weekly XP leagues, tournaments and community events — so instead of playing alone, you compete, improve and climb with people who love the same game.
Chess.
When I first floated this idea to my friend, they said it was too complicated to work.
But I said bring it on.
I love me a good challenge.
Chess is fun when it's crazy.
Chess is fun when it makes your blood boil.
Join a chess battle today, and I promise you, you will never quit until you become a general.
I will see you in the lobby.
Cheers ❤️⚔️
