IQPICPlatform iqpi.io is an online venue for Chess and Tetris in the browser: free games, rated duels for money in IQPIC tokens, prize tournaments (including Chess), clubs, chats, and a personal account with top-ups and withdrawals.

What is iqpi.io
iqpi.io combines the public site and the personal account (lk):
- tournament and club catalogs, profiles, and leaderboards — on the site;
- creating games, balance, messenger, “My tournaments” — more often in the account at
/lk.
Games run in the browser, with no separate client install. The interface is multilingual.
The IQPIC token is the in-game balance currency: it pays for rated-game Buy-in, tournament entry fees, gifts, and other operations; winnings and prizes arrive on the same balance. Top-ups and withdrawals — in Balance management. Full tokenomics and DAO — IQPIC Whitepaper.
Security and fairness
Platform iqpi.io is an honest, transparent venue for intellectual esports. We built a safe environment for Chess and Tetris players. Below are the main facts about how we operate, our legal status, and how your funds are protected.
Official status and the law
- Legal entity. The platform operator is IQPI Ltd. We operate officially. Full company details, address, and contacts are published in the User agreement.
- Not gambling. iqpi.io is not a casino and not gambling. Chess and Tetris are skill games: the outcome depends on your mind and skill, not on chance.
Transparent finances and withdrawals
- Free play. The platform is fully free: you can play and train without depositing your own money.
- Fair duels. Players can arrange prize matches. The prize pool is formed by the participants themselves through an entry fee (Buy-in). The platform does not take hidden commissions from these fees.
- Withdrawals without hidden charges. Withdrawal rules are described in Balance management. We do not charge a withdrawal fee. We never require you to pay a “tax”, “account activation”, or “network fees” before releasing funds.
Web3 and blockchain security
- No dangerous smart contracts. The platform does not use hidden smart contracts that could access your personal crypto wallets and drain funds.
- IQPIC token. The in-platform IQPIC token runs on the official TON blockchain.
- Verified listing. The token passed exchange review and trades openly in the official liquidity pool on the largest DEX in the TON ecosystem — STON.fi.
Protection against fraud and multi-accounts
Registration on the platform is possible only with a confirmed phone number. That prevents mass creation of fake profiles (bots) for unfair play. Details: Sign-in and registration.
The platform complies with the law: upon an official request from law-enforcement authorities we are ready to provide the data needed to protect the rights and safety of our users.
Chess for money and online
On iqpi.io you can:
- play Chess online against a person or a computer (Stockfish);
- play Chess for money — a rated game with a Buy-in entry fee in IQPIC: the winner receives the opponent’s tokens on their balance;
- take part in online Chess tournaments with a prize pool and, when set, a registration entry fee;
- after a win, request a withdrawal via the balance page.
Details:
- rules and creating a game — Chess;
- Buy-in mechanics and earning in duels — Rated games;
- prize pool and registration — Prize tournaments.
Alongside the classic game you can play Capital Chess (mate or points for pieces) and Swedish (Bughouse — a team format; not held in the tournament catalog; a rated match with an entry fee — yes).
Games on the platform
| Game | In brief | Article |
|---|---|---|
| Chess | Classic mate; person or bot; rated games and tournaments | Chess |
| Capital Chess | Mate or more points for captures | Capital Chess |
| Swedish (Bughouse) | Teams, several boards, reserve and drop | Swedish |
| Tetris | Classic; opponent or solo play; tournaments | Tetris |
| Tetris: Attack | Attack lines; opponent or solo; tournaments | Tetris: Attack |
In Tetris and Tetris: Attack there is no “vs bot” mode like in Chess — there is a solo mode. Rated Buy-in is only against a live opponent.
For Tetris there is also a Tetris for money scenario (rated game) and prize tournaments in that discipline — see the game articles and Rated games.
Rated games and earning in duels
A rated game is a duel (or a Swedish match) with a Buy-in entry fee. This is the main way to earn with Chess and other platform games in a table-vs-table format, separate from a tournament prize for place.
You need an account, an active balance, and enough IQPIC for the fee. Without an active balance, rated mode is unavailable.
Full breakdown: Rated games.
