Every great love story starts with a single move. Here are some of our favorite ChessDate couples who prove that when you find someone who challenges your mind, they often capture your heart too.
Sarah & Michael
We matched based on our similar chess ratings and shared love for aggressive playing styles. What started as casual games turned into 6-hour conversations about strategy, life, and everything in between. Our first date was at a local chess café, and we've been inseparable since. Michael proposed during a chess tournament - he made the move after I castled!
Emma & David
I was skeptical about online dating until I found ChessDate. David and I bonded over our mutual love for the Queen's Gambit opening and late-night blitz games. We discovered we lived just 3 miles apart and had been playing at the same chess club for years without meeting! Now we're planning to move in together and compete as a team in couple's tournaments.
Lisa & Ahmed
Ahmed helped me improve my endgame technique while I taught him some opening theory. Our relationship developed just like a good chess strategy - slowly, thoughtfully, with each move building on the last. We've traveled to three chess tournaments together and are planning our chess-themed wedding for next spring.
Maria & James
We were both beginners when we met on ChessDate, rated around 800. Learning chess together became our bonding experience - we'd analyze each other's games, study openings, and celebrate rating improvements. Two years later, we're both over 1500 and more in love than ever. Chess taught us patience, strategy, and how to support each other through wins and losses.
