Are you up for a game of chess? If so, I encourage you to join one of the greatest communities on chess.com... the ARC!

The ARC stands for Atomic_Rift's Club. It is an online chess club where chess players of any age and any rating can just be themselves. The ARC is an active chess club filled with contests, club matches, vote chess, tournaments, forums, chess lessons, scoreboards, monthly prizes, and an awesome environment of friendly people.

Are you a club match player? Awesome! There are multiple different contests you can join to compete against 160+ other club match players!

Are you a vote chess player? Great! We have Vote Chess games that members insightfully comment on every move! Also, if a Vote Chess game results in a win everyone wins a trophy!

Are you a social forum kind-of-guy? Fabulous! We have many forums and forum games that get several new comments everyday! One even has over 10,000 comments!

Here is what some of the regulars have to say about the ARC:

Harish73: I like this group very much :D

JQuChess: You truly are the best leader in the world.

Riptidejr: the ARC is probably one of the most unique groups right now with our forum games and the community!!! if there was only 1 group i could join it would be the ARC!

So join us as we battle our way to the top of the Leaderboards. This is a very challenging goal, but one that is attainable with the help of everyone. You will not go wrong joining here. I hope to see you soon friend.
