International Chess Day is best celebrated in one way and one way only: by playing chess! We're happy to announce that during this special Thursday the official Chess.com Community Clubwill be hosting 12 prized arenas in which you can battle other community members all day for your shot at free Diamond Memberships, Chessable PRO, Aimchess Premium, the exclusive Discord role of International Chess Day Champion and many other amazing rewards!
How To Play
Join the official Chess.com Community Club and register in each Arena to participate in the events. First arena starts at 12 A.M PT/9:00 CEST/12:30 IST, with the subsequent 11 arenas following every 2 hours! Be sure to register at least one hour before the starting time of each Arena. However, we recommend doing this as soon as possible to avoid any last-minute issues.
Format
The twelve tourneys each consist of a two-hour blitz arena with a 3+0 time control. This event is a score-based arena where players are paired based on their scores instead of their rating. The player with the most points at the end of the arena wins.
Prizes
All 12 arena winners will receive 3 months of Diamond Membership. Plus, a random participant of each arena will be able to choose between 1 month of Chessable Pro, Aimchess Premium or Diamond Membership as a prize!
On top of that, we'll be awarding 6 months of Diamond Membership for Best Move, Best Game and Biggest Upset of the day! The winners will be decided by popular vote on a forum post to be created at the end of the day. Submit your moves and/or games in the Community Club forum and upvote your favorites to win!
The winners also receive the exclusive International Chess Day Champion role on the Chess.com Discord server!
Arena links and winner updates will be updated on this forum post as the day progresses. Good luck, and happy International Chess Day!
