You can play ÉCHEC O CUBE alone against the computer for a long time. But the day someone explains why your dark pawn should have gone elsewhere, you improve all at once. That is what the Chat Blog is for.
What you will find there
The Chat Blog is built right into the app. There are public rooms, open to everyone, and private groups that you create with a code you share only with your friends, your family or your club.
Since the app was redesigned, the Chat Blog is reachable during a game, from the menu. You no longer have to leave your game to go talk to someone.
The My Board button
You can share a picture of your board, generated by the app. It is the best way to ask for advice: instead of describing your position, you show it.
It is also the only image allowed in the Chat Blog. Never a photo, never a video, never a voice message.
Our rules, and they are not negotiable
Many young people play ÉCHEC O CUBE. The community has to stay a safe place, so the rules are simple and strict:
- Nicknames only. You do not give your real full name.
- Never an address, never the name of a school, never a phone number.
- No photos, no videos, no voice messages. Only the board image generated by the app is allowed.
- Young players are accompanied by an adult.
- We talk about the game. We respect our opponent, especially when we win.
Here on the blog, comments are read and moderated before being published. It is slower, but it is cleaner.
Something to talk about to get started
If you are not sure how to join the conversation, here are four topics that interest everyone:
- Your biggest cube. How many points, and how you built it.
- A position where you got stuck. Share the board image.
- How you manage your 15 dark pawns. Everyone has a theory, no two are alike.
- The red pawn: do you play it, or do you forget it like most people?
What is coming
The app is free until January 1, 2027. The 9x9 wooden board from the Vintage 1999 Collection, signed and numbered, never to be sold in the shop, will be unveiled soon.
Until then, the best service you can do this game is to play it and talk about it. A community is not declared into existence: it is built one game at a time.
Looking forward to reading you.
