Why ChessSpeed first?
ChessSpeed sits on Chess Upgrades and spends Chess. Prestige 1 counts Chess total, so tempo cards that grow Chess income move the live header.

Chess Incremental Best Upgrades
What to upgrade first in Chess Incremental: ChessSpeed and Chess Multi, then Wins Multi later. Includes Upgrade Planner and HUD snapshot costs.
Updated: Sep 14, 2026UPD1
Best Upgrade Order
Start with Chess-income cards. Prestige 1 is 100K Chess.
- ChessSpeed — raises early Chess tempo on the Chess Upgrades wall.
- Chess Multi — raises Chess per move; buy with ChessSpeed toward the 100K gate.
- Wins Multi later — real crown card on the same wall, but it spends Wins and does not fill the Prestige Chess header.
Why Chess Multi with it?
Chess Multi is the named Chess multiplier on the same wall. Buy it with ChessSpeed for Prestige 1 Chess — exact per-level formula is still unread.
VerifiedWhy wait on Wins Multi?
Wins Multi spends Wins. It is not the 100K Chess gate. Use it after Chess/sec is already moving the Prestige header.

What to Avoid
- Do not treat Wins Multi as the Prestige 1 Chess gate. The header counts Chess.
- Do not BUY MAX a new Diamonds/Rubies wall before you know which card raises the currency you actually need.
- Do not copy upgrade costs from other Roblox incrementals.
