Play The Live Chess World League Season 12
Would you like to represent your homeland in the "Olympics of chess"?
The Live Chess World League is set to begin season twelve on Chess.com with dozens of countries and thousands of players competing from around the globe!
The Live Chess World League pits countries vs countries in rapid, blitz and bullet club matches on the Chess.com live server. Nothing adds greater stakes to competition than national representation.
Will you help bring home the gold for your team?
Format:
72 teams will compete in six divisions in a round-robin format. After one round-robin, the top four and bottom four teams will play a second round-robin battling for division victory and advancement, or trying to fend off relegation.
Divisions 3, 4 and 5 will be organized in multiple groups (split division played separately from each other, with each half being split by time zone/location)!
Overall matches will consist of mini-matches in rapid (10|2), blitz (5|2) and bullet (2|1).
Season 12 Teams:
Players seeking to compete in the Live Chess World League should join their local team and stay tuned for league and match announcement from their club admins. Remember, you can only play for one national team throughout the season!
