How to Set Up Your ChessXT Account Safely

ChessXT requires new users to accept the Terms and Conditions and acknowledge the Privacy Policy before an account is created. This protects players, schools, organizers, and the platform because the account rules are clear from the first session.

The same expectation applies to email registration and Google registration. If you use Google, accept the terms first, then continue through the Google sign-in screen.

Email registration creates a ChessXT username and sends a verification OTP to your email address. You can sign in before verification, but the account remains in an email-verification state until the OTP is completed.

Google sign-in uses a verified Google email and can create a ChessXT account faster. If a Google-created profile is missing required personal details, ChessXT sends the player to Profile before continuing.

ChessXT asks for name and date of birth because age-aware safety, junior profiles, school workflows, events, and certificates need reliable identity context. Date of birth is private and should not be treated as public profile content.

Country, state, and city help certificates, school programs, and local activity feel more meaningful, but they should be managed carefully for younger players and privacy-sensitive accounts.
