Hi, @Glory_Be_To_Him26 we're currently playing Bullet. We'll finish, rest for 15 minutes, and then BugHouse will begin. Invite more friends! Thank you very much.
Hello, friends! Fans of "CrazyHouse in Teams" (Bughouse)? My son and I love it as much as ChessVotes. FOR TODAY: in exactly 2 hours: We need players for a Bughouse game that concludes issue 34 of #Series241, 2nd Edition of 2026 Variations. We need a minimum of 10 active players to play. Thanks! Have fun!
@DCMD2016 Several years chesscom provided $5,000 for a prize pool. Last year they provided $2,500. They will not be funding this event in the future. Some of us are still willing to organize an event; however, without a prize pool participartion will likely be far lower than previously.
@chuckmoulton - what drove bughouse championship funding in the past, and what would Chess.com need to see to bring it back?
I know we’re a sub-niche, but when I explain bughouse to newer or non-players, they get interested quickly, it’s a more accessible, engaging format. What metrics actually matter here (participation, viewership, etc.)?
