FAQ

Knight questions

Which clocks can I play?

The public leaderboards are Bullet, Blitz, Rapid, and Puzzles. The experience also says there are 9 time controls. The exact clock for each of those 9 is not printed on the game description, so this wiki does not assign minute values to them.

How do codes work?

The only code printed by the developer community is GROUPCODE, for free Tokens. Join 1 Elo Chess, open RoChess!, use Shop then Codes, and submit the code exactly. Several 18 October 2026 lists also name 1000LIKES, SOYSLOPGAMES, and CORDCODE, but those strings are not on the community description.

What should a new player do first?

Start with an easy bot, learn legal moves and king safety, then use puzzles before you queue a rated game. After the game, open Game Review and the Analysis Board. The developer tells new players to begin with an easy bot and work toward Master.
