International Chess Day is almost upon us! This is the perfect opportunity for us to celebrate the joy of chess together. It doesn't matter where you live or who you are; we're all united by our love for the game.

At Chess.com, we're proud to work with more than 600 team members across 60 countries. With more than 160 million members from all over the world, we truly appreciate how chess can transcend cultures, languages, and borders to bring people together. With that in mind, here's our message to you:

As part of the celebration, we invite you to join us and share a photo of you playing chess in different parts of the world on social media using the hashtag #InternationalChessDay

We also invite all members to participate in our 24-hour International Chess Day Arena. This is your chance to spend International Chess Day playing blitz games with like-minded people from all over the world—while also having the opportunity to win a one-year diamond membership.
