What happened to RoChess!?
The original game was removed on 28 Oct 2026. The same group opened a new listing on 31 Oct. Here are the dates, the new link, and what did not carry over.
The short answer
RoChess! is still playable, but not at the old link. The first place (139717576471404) now redirects to Roblox's Content Deleted page. The current place is 130878180532794, created on 31 Oct 2026 by the same group, 1 Elo Chess. Anything saved or shared before 28 Oct points at the dead place.
Visits, favourites, and votes did not move to the new listing. The old record had 18,531,487 visits and 8,934 playing when it was last read; the new one starts from zero on 31 Oct.

Timestamps are not patch notes. The API does not say which words changed on 27 Oct or 2 Nov, and it does not explain the removal. The same timeline with pass detail is on updates.
What reset, and what did not
Reset: visits, favourites, votes, and the pass list. The new listing started with no history, and the old passes do not appear on it; Infinite Game Review! was replaced by Infinite Game Breakdown!.
Did not reset: the group (1 Elo Chess, 991905923), the owner account, the description's feature list (9 time controls, Game Review, 20,000+ puzzles, 19 bots, 3,800+ openings), and the CHESSGROUP line in the group description. Whether any code still pays out on the new listing is not reported by any public source; the codes page keeps the pre-31 Oct statuses and dates them.
If an old link fails
Open the current experience page or search Roblox for “RoChess!” and check the creator is 1 Elo Chess. A page that says “Content Deleted” or “Title Unavailable” is the removed place, not a temporary outage. This site's Play button always points at the current place.
Corrections go to contact. The method behind these dates is on editorial policy.
Questions
Did RoChess! get deleted?
The first listing did. Roblox shows universe 10768845402 as [ Content Deleted ] with an updated field of 2026-10-28T00:14:31Z. The game itself returned on a new listing on 31 Oct 2026.
Is RoChess! still playable?
Yes, at the new place (130878180532794). The old place (139717576471404) is gone.
Why was it removed?
Roblox has not published a reason, and the group has not posted one. The record only shows Content Deleted; this site does not invent a cause.
Is the new game the same game?
Same group, same name and description, and the same feature list. It is a new place, so visits, votes, favourites, and passes are new.
Did my progress carry over?
The public record cannot show per-player progress. Ratings and badges live on the new listing, whose badge counts started on 31 Oct; nothing in the API says old progress was transferred.
Do the old codes work?
No public source has reported a code reward on the new listing. The group description still lists CHESSGROUP; the codes page keeps the old statuses with their dates.
