Main Takeaways
1. Active clubs
Active clubs, shown in green, are clubs which still hold club events regularly. However, dark green clubs are clubs which are definitely a force to contend with if you wish to hold on to your spot on the Vote Chess leaderboard (having at least 50 ongoing vote chess games). This month, there are four such clubs in the top 25: The Eevee Lovers (#7), EGYPT CHESS CLUB (#14), Chess.com vs Chesskid (#21), and the United Chess Nations (#23).
2. Rising clubs
Over the past few years, relative stability hampered change and growth in the leaderboard. However, some key changes have taken place:
A. PFCC (#2) is coming close to taking over Chess School (#1) as the top vote chess team in the world.
B. The top ten have not changed for a significant period of time.
C. The newest additions to the top 25 are Chess.com - Arabic (#13), EGYPT CHESS CLUB (#14), Chess.com vs ChessKid (#20), and The United Chess Nations (#23). Seeing as three of these clubs are also growing extremely quickly, one can see that there is the potential for a club, given time and care, to grow to become a top vote chess club in mere months. For instance, The Eevee Lovers took the top 25 in three months (2022) from my experience, and, most recently, Chess.com vs Chesskid has reached the top 25 in a year. In fact, just today, June 29, Chess.com vs Chesskid has overtaken Sacred Pawn Legion to become 20th place! (The graph was not updated in time.)
3. Clubs Representing Nations
Most of the clubs on this list were in fact created for the purpose of nurturing the Chess.com community! Out of the top 25, only 6 clubs represent sovereign nations (the Philippines, Turkey, Indonesia, Egypt, India, and the Netherlands, respectively). Although countries have taken over the Daily Match leaderboard, vote chess seems to be a subset of the community where one person can make a difference in the standings. Now would be a great time to create your own club and rise the ranks!
