How Side Quests work
Pick one Solo Side Quest at a time. After you choose it, play a new public Lichess or Chess.com game so Side Quest Chess has a fresh game to check.

Quick answers
Side Quest Chess checks public Lichess or Chess.com games after you choose a Side Quest or join a Multiplayer Side Quest. If proof looks wrong, wait until the game is fully finished and refresh proof.

Why proof may not work yet
Proof checks your newest public games after you choose a Side Quest. If it does not pass, make sure the game is finished, public, played on your connected username, and matches the rule.
Connecting a chess username
Add your public Lichess or Chess.com username so Side Quest Chess knows which games belong to you. It only reads public game records and never needs your chess-site password.
Multiplayer Side Quests
Multiplayer Side Quests are shared challenges with their own rules, time window, players, and leaderboard. Join an official challenge, join a community challenge, or create one for friends.
Coat of Arms
Completing a Side Quest unlocks its Coat of Arms. Your unlocked coats stay in your account and appear in the Trophy Cabinet.
Read the Privacy Policy, support notes, or the Terms of Use. Side Quest Chess only asks for public chess usernames and never chess-site passwords.
