## Description

This project is a real-time multiplayer chess platform designed to host competitive matches between users. It functions as a backend service that synchronizes board states and move data across connected client devices using bidirectional network communication.

The platform distinguishes itself through an integrated competitive scoring engine that tracks player performance and updates skill rankings dynamically after each match. By combining this rating system with persistent user profiles, the platform maintains a record of individual game history and performance statistics across multiple sessions.

The system ensures game integrity and recovery through a persistent storage layer that records every move made during a match. It manages the full lifecycle of a game, from initial player connection to the final outcome, by coordinating move validation and state synchronization in response to network events.
