Who's across the table?

The best game of chess is the one across from you.

Online chess pairs you with strangers. Tatami is for the person sitting right there.

Date night

Phones usually pull you apart at the table. This one sits between you.

Teaching your kid

Sit across from them like a real game, with their half of the board facing them.

Club night or the café

No board in your bag? Your Duo is the board. Open it and play.

Table mode

Each side gets its own seat.

Nobody reads the game upside down, and nobody passes the phone back and forth after every move.
