01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

The site presents itself as a chess game featuring Stockfish AI and Lichess integration. Technical scans show no malicious activity, and the domain is hosted on a reputable CDN with a valid TLS certificate.

Technical security profile

Multiple security engines returned clean results with zero malicious or suspicious detections across 92 scanners.

The site uses a valid TLS certificate and is hosted on Vercel infrastructure, which maintains a clean abuse reputation.

Operator accountability and transparency

The domain is 198 days old and no operator contact information, company details, or social media links appear on the site.

This lack of transparency makes it difficult to verify the service's legitimacy or accountability, though no deceptive commercial mechanisms were observed.

Why the score is 82

The score combines saved deterministic evidence with the grounded analysis available for this report. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Verify before you trust

We couldn't gather enough signal for a confident verdict — tread carefully.

  1. Find the company through independent channels

    Search for the business on LinkedIn, an official registry (Companies House, OpenCorporates, SEC EDGAR), or via the brand's known social channels. If you can't trace a real entity, that itself is a red flag.

  2. Never pay by crypto, gift card, or bank transfer

    If the site forces an irreversible payment method, stop. Cards and PayPal give you chargeback protection — irreversible methods don't.

  3. Ask the forum

    Post the URL in the MalwareTips Scam Reports forum — experienced members often recognise patterns immediately.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is chessguardians.com a scam or is it safe?
chessguardians.com has a Safety Score of 82/100 (Low Risk). The saved checks found no material threat, but the report did not meet every requirement for the highest Safe tier. Use normal caution and independently verify the operator before irreversible payments or unusually sensitive actions.
Is chessguardians.com safe to use?
chessguardians.com has a Safety Score of 82/100 (Low Risk). Analysis coverage is complete at 100%. Normal caution; verify sensitive actions.
Has chessguardians.com been flagged by antivirus engines?
No — all 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report chessguardians.com as clean. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.
Is chessguardians.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — chessguardians.com is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
How old is the chessguardians.com domain?
chessguardians.com is 6 months old, registered on March 16, 2026 through Marcaria International LLC. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
Does chessguardians.com have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — chessguardians.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YR1, valid for another 76 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
Where is chessguardians.com hosted?
chessguardians.com resolves to an IP operated by Vercel, Inc in US (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the chessguardians.com report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on October 1, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about chessguardians.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
