Its developed by the same company that makes an app just to "hook up"
Kinda disappointed that chess.com would advertise something like that.
Has anybody tried the World Chess "dating app" Mate?
Sort:
I have been here long enough to see some famous ""love stories"......just like the great love stories in movies....Highly regarded super administrators here....calling each other ""my mimosa" ....it is always heart warming to watch at the start......and heartbreaking to watch at the end.....all is not what it seems.....the irony of chess.com
it sucks don't even try

If so, what's the verdict?
I mean, if it really is just an app to help you find chess players nearby, that sounds pretty good, but the article makes it seem like it's a hookup app that's just chess-flavored.
To those of you who used it, does there seem that be that kind of underlying expectation for the people it pairs you up with? Does it specifically just try to find people according to sexual preferences? Or maybe there are personalized chess questions on the profile on the app (favorite players of history, preferred openings, etc)?
I might end up installing it myself just to see, but if anybody here already has, and would be willing to share some insight about it, I'd appreciate that.
How about chess skills, athletic and upper middle class assets?

It can't be for hook-up purposes. I mean, have you gone to a tournament and seen actual chess players? It's either a bunch of kids or old duffs.
To the OP....Tristala I can't help you with the app but please disregard post #7.......he's a little off his rocker.
You see what I mean? He avoids chess in general........but he's on a chess site in the middle of 70 games. And this is from another post....... "again you know nothing about life yet have assumed im an incel. hahahaha omg yet you are talking to someone who doesnt have any requirements of an incel. im not even part of the community anymore, since most of the members just straight up hated who I was". ( I can't imagine why?) And yet he has "incel" as a user name.
I recently ran across a woman on match who listed chess as one of her hobbies. I wrote to her but did not get a reply. Perhaps I should not have said that I play the Classical Dutch!
There's a lot of things you don't get,...but I'm not here to be you're therapist. You claim you're not in the community no more right? So why not change your user name to just "Catfishman"? ...........and drop the incel
1st of all......your sexual preferences is not what THIS thread is about. 2nd. I'm not attacking you, I'm just helping the community here. With no basis what-so-ever, you accused the OP......a female of being a troll. 3rd. If you don't want to change "incel" out of your user name........then you're lying to us.......and you're still part of the community. Which is fine. You can join any organization you want but don't lie about it and have EVERY thread you post on.......dissolve into "your sexual preferences" all the time. I couldn't care less weather you're a virgin or a grandfather, but I'm pretty sure Chess.com does not want to be associated with the incel community. Spending your life on the computer being angry at women is no way to go through life. Do you think the OP of THIS thread knows that you've created an incel group on this site with 8 whole members?.......in which the oldest one there is probably 15? I'm 63 yrs old, I'm ex Air Force, a college graduate and I drove a school bus for 15 yrs. You've had 2 threads locked on the same issue about females and a very inappropriate picture taken down. You sure you want to go 9 rounds with me on this kid? All I ask is that you be polite when you post here. Do that and you won't see me again.
"this female who created this thread is a troll". AND YOU WOULD KNOW THIS.....HOW? "who in gods mind think chess dating app would be successful"? When velcro was invented they didn't think there would be a market for that either.
So if a dating app was created by a woman you'd probably be jealous and pissed off heh? Look,....your spelling and grammar is atrocious.....you can't post worth a dam. You have no ability to delete post 21. I can't deal with this childish nonsense right now. I have to install an air-conditioner......get something to eat.....and go to my drum studio.

that's kinda funny, well done. 
I just can't deal with THAT amount of stupid incel. Is there just not a father in your life? "you know everything is about looks right". RIGHT....and here's what it looks like. In your "incel" club on this site.......not 1 of the 7 members have the word "incel" in their name. But yet, YOU have the name incel with your Catfishman name and you CLAIM that you're not part of the community. So......are THEY all lying or are YOU lying?
Do you have a gun I can borrow pushwood?

Thank you. I have met several women who commented that my listing chess as a hobby intrigued them. That and my great hair.

You DO know what "catfishing" is, yes?

"Thank you. I have met several women who commented that my listing chess as a hobby intrigued them. That and my great hair". See that incel? A thread about a dating app gets 2 people together. AMAZING heh?
Let me extend my apologies to the OP for whatever nonsense I have contributed to.
