// est. 2026 :: a parlor of strategy & chance

Pull up a chair.
Stay a while._

ten-deuce is a parlor for games worth coming back to — no-limit hold’em on the felt, live chess at the board, and more classic games in the works. Named for a hand you probably shouldn’t play. Built for every hand, move, and match after.

01 :: cash, tournaments & bots

Hold’em — the felt.

No-limit cash games, rising-blind tournaments, and heads-up tables if that’s your speed. Rusty? Four house bots keep a table warm around the clock — sign up and take your shots before the humans show up.

  • > multi-table cash & sngs
  • > house bots on call, day & night
  • > spectator mode for railbirds

Chess — the board.

Sit across from another human, or sharpen your lines against Stockfish at the strength of your choosing. Legal moves enforced. Move history included.

  • > live heads-up against any seated player
  • > stockfish from beginner to full strength
  • > private boards by invite link
