Pre-Season, 2025 Season and the Grand Variant Challenge!
Dear friends! After two intense training stages, the 2025 Pre-Season has been a resounding success. During December and January, our members were strengthened through the 33 Thematic Arenas that benefited our game with openings that improved our repertoire and helped to complete the Books(33) of the chess.com profile, which we quickly adopted in another club challenge.
The inter-club Live Arenas, we refer to the Live Matches that some of them were cancelled due to problems with the previous alerts presented by chess.com, we won most of them by Walkover, the positive side is that the 2025 Championship Live Match left us undefeated.
In parallel, we presented a Special Father and Son Challenge with our variant Chameleon King Chess. The Day 1 having been held with the "KingsHunter" modality in a Rapid 30m game, with Day 2 - "30M" and Day 3 - "15M" pending to complete all its modalities.
The Daily Matches, Chessvotes and regular Arenas appeared again with the new 2025 season in the 241 that began in February without our traditional Passport 241 Series pending for March.
Now, we take a step forward with our chess.com community, launching the #Series241 of Variants, which in its third year, in its 1st Edition of 2025, turning it into a Multiclub event.
