Introducing The Variants Community Series

Chess.com is excited to launch the Variants Community Series (VCS), a series of events and competitions for streamers and our dedicated and growing variants community!

Every two months, we'll be featuring a different variant for you to discover, learn, and enjoy while also rewarding the best players through community arenas, streamer arenas, and championship events - with money prizes and gifted subs at stake!

The Variants Community Series kicks off in September and continues into October with King Of The Hill, where the first king to occupy the center wins—but getting checkmated still loses! Beginning on September 7, there will be six arena tournaments held weekly on Thursdays, followed by a Championship event with a $1,000 first-place prize.

Join the variants club today! There you'll find information about the upcoming events, how to participate, and more.
