Lichess has entered a strategic partnership with Take Take Take to power the company's new chess play zone, marking a significant win for open source software in the gaming industry. The agreement will see Take Take Take leverage Lichess's infrastructure and technology stack while maintaining Lichess's core principles of being free, libre, and open-source software.

Under the collaboration, Take Take Take users will be able to seamlessly create Lichess accounts and play games on Lichess servers through the Take Take Take application. All players, whether on Take Take Take or using Lichess directly, will benefit from the platform's commitment to privacy, data integrity, and robust moderation systems. Take Take Take will contribute back to the open source ecosystem through financial support, increased visibility, and direct development contributions to Lichess.

The partnership represents a departure from the traditional walled garden approach in online gaming, where companies typically build proprietary platforms from scratch. By choosing Lichess's open infrastructure, Take Take Take acknowledges that Lichess already offers the best-in-market solution for online chess. This collaboration could reshape the chess ecosystem by introducing healthy competition and ensuring that innovation benefits the broader chess community rather than being locked behind corporate walls.
