How it works
Private rooms
- White creates a room and copies its invitation link.
- Black opens the link in another browser/device and taps Join.
- Moves are validated against Jianwu's rules on Cloudflare D1.
- Refresh the page to reconnect from the same browser.
- Keep your invitation private. This alpha has no accounts, clocks, spectators, or chat.
