Testers Wanted: New Lichess VR Client for Meta Quest (2/3/3S)

Hi everyone!

I've been working on a VR chess game for Meta Quest, and I'd love to find a few Lichess users willing to test its online multiplayer features!

Game link: https://www.meta.com/experiences/quest/1449751633868494/

The game has two main components:

Offline chess: Play against Stockfish 19 (it's running on the device itself), with 10 difficulty levels that you can change at any time, even during gameplay.

Online multiplayer via Lichess: You can challenge other players and play rated or casual games.

The online client currently supports two ways to play:

Direct Challenges: Challenge a friend who's logged into Lichess in the VR headset. You can send the challenge from the Lichess website or another Lichess client, and accept it in VR.

Seek: Create or join games with configurable parameters, including rated or casual play.

I'm looking for a few people who own a Meta Quest headset and would be willing to try the game and play a couple of games. I'd especially appreciate feedback on the online experience, usability, and anything that doesn't work as expected.

If you're interested, leave a comment or send me a message, and I'll give you a code to get the game for free from the Meta Horizon Store.

I'll attach a few screenshots so you can see what the game looks like.

Thanks, and see you on the board!
