Participate In The Team Chess Battle Prediction Contest!
Chess.com is excited to announce the launch of Team Chess Battle—a new tournament that brings banter, chat, and great games from some of the best in the business.
What makes this event different? It’s a 2v2 team tournament where the players are allowed to confer at any time, giving the viewer an incredible insight into how they think and communicate.
The teams include GM Hikaru Nakamura and IM Levy Rozman, GM Anish Giri and IM Danny Rensch, GM Wesley So and IM Alice Lee, and GM Fabiano Caruana and GM Cristian Chirila.
Chess legends GM Peter Leko and GM Pia Cramling will also compete along with the commentating greats GM Robert Hess and GM Daniel Naroditsky, plus super-streamer GM Eric Hansen and his Dutch destroyer teammate, GM Jorden van Foreest.
Perhaps the most exciting addition for some—particularly fans of the old Chess24 broadcasts—will be the tagteam of GMs Peter Svidler and Jan Gustafsson competing on Chess.com.
Who do you think will win? Predict and win up to 6 months of diamond memberships!
