What is the Live Chess World League (LCWL)?
The Live Chess World League (LCWL), officially sponsored by Chess.com, is the world's premier live chess competition. The LCWL has premium membership prizes generously provided by Chess.com that vary by division, including 10 Diamond memberships of varying lengths to the top three teams in Division 1 of the LCWL. Those prizes are then distributed to the team members with the most participation and highest performance over the course of the LCWL season. 

What is the format of the LCWL?

The LCWL hosts tournaments of many different formats, including the main seasons (which combine blitz, bullet, and rapid play), the Chess960 Cup, and the U1600 Tournament. As each new tournament starts, we will announce the format via News post and in the USChess Live Chess Match Play Discussion forum.

In the Chess960 Cup, we play a blitz match and a rapid match. The blitz match is at a time control of 5+2, and the rapid match is at a time control of 10+2.

Are matches this weekend all Chess 960 games or is that just part of the title or what?

Dare-Dare

The Live Chess World League matches are Chess960. The Pan American Live Chess League match is regular chess.

Thanks.
