The same idea behind a fine watch's authenticity card — a small physical object that travels with your board and proves exactly what it is. Here's what it does today, and where it's headed.
Every set is designed to ship with its own metal verification card, alongside the maker's plate built into the case itself. The card carries a QR code tied to your board's Chess.ID — no account required, no app to install. Scan it with any phone camera.
Your board's Chess.ID, its collection, material, piece style, and origination date — plus the cause tied to your collection, with a link through to the organization behind it and its socials.
We're exploring an NFT tied to each physical board. When that program launches, the exact same card and QR code — the one already in your hands — becomes how you claim it. Nothing new to buy, nothing new to track down.
The card ships with every board from day one, regardless of whether or when an NFT program launches — so it's never a reason to wait. It exists to prove your board is real, tell its story, and carry its cause forward. Everything it might unlock later builds on top of that, not instead of it.
Start with a country, or start from nothing. Either way, it's yours.
