Welcome to the club "ChessAroundTheEarth". Here will be given informations about the International Arena. But, what does this arena means? Of course, there is something there, right? Well, there are 10 editions of this arena along the year 2025. After the 10th edition, we will crown the Champion. But there are also rules. Rule : In the Arena points the best 20 of that edition. The points are... how many points the team accumulates. If the team points nothing, then nothing will be in the Ranking. Rule : There will be also a Ranking, but will be intended to the players. The only thing that is different is that in a edition will be only 10 that will be point. Rule : There will be 3 blitz, 3 rapid, 3 bullet and 1 Fischer Chess Arena. Rule : This tournament has NO PRIZES BY MONEY! Rule : If a player cheat, will be not considered in the Player's Ranking! Rule no. 6: In the last Arena will be compete the best 30 nations from the General Nations Ranking. Rule : Play well and have fun 😉. Thanks for reading!

Here will be announced the date and time for the next ICA's!

About LWCL + Competition management, Groups, Schedule and Rules! ABOUT LWCL: LWCL (Live World Cities League) is a competition between cities, but in the LIVE variant, similar to LCWL. This competition is organised by ChessAroundTheEarth with the help of WCL and ECL administration. 1. This competition brings people from all over the world to play for their cities and to compete for the title of "CHAMPION". Only the cities will be rewarded! 2. The prizes does not consist in money, just in virtual medals and certificates! 3. A player can play only for a team, otherwise his points won't count! Same if he gets banned! 4. After the matches are ended (Round-Robin League), we will go to the brackets (round of 16/32, depends on the group size and how many cities are registered) 5. For every match it will be 2 points=win, 1 point=draw, 0 points=lose together with the scores (points difference) The results will be displayed on the ChessAroundTheEarth club! COMPETITION MANAGEMENT:  1. If a team participates in the competition, an admin is required to give or accept the invitations for the matches + to announce the date and hour of the match for the players of the city! 2. Groups. A division/group will NOT have the same concept as in Daily! Teams in a group: 4 or 6 or 8 (depends on how many teams are registered! This value is changeable!)The teams in the group are picked up randomly by ChessAroundTheEarth and then it will not change and will not be taken into account the WCL rankings!The groups and the matches will be announced in both ChessAroundTheEarth and WCL and ECL, but matches announcements will be posted only in the club ChessAroundTheEarth! (ChessAroundTheEarth club link: https://www.chess.com/club/chessaroundtheearth - When you apply for the club entrance, please mention the city you administer! SCHEDULE: 1. The date of the match are picked by ChessAroundTheEarth and also to be picked up So that it does not overlap with other competitions, both organized by ChessAroundTheEarth, but also with any other major tournaments! 2.  The matches hours are chosen by the ADMINS! Because we can't know what it is your ideal time for a match to begin, admins are pleased to put on the registration forum the ideal time for a match and we'll do an average of the 2 teams times or the admins are discussing separately the match time.

@Hieumojo: Participated in the arenas with different teams (BULGARIA and Viėt Nam). The rules are saying that a player can participate in a season of a tournament only at one club. -ICA 2025- 0 points @R9427X: Banned by cheating. Nobody can point if they're banned (even if they were banned by not cheating). -ICA 2025- 0 points

In the last few arenas we had with bullet as control time, we didn't had so much players. Please gave us an advice or a time control for bullet, except the 2/1. If you don't have any information to communicate to us, please don't write. If you want to write, write here by posting a comment at our topic. Thank you!
