Do participants already need to have a Gold/Platinum membership like for Untitled Tuesday once upon a time- or do those even need to be premium members now that it's a community club event?

Everyone can play!

So is that true for both events (Untitled Tuesday and Community Freestyle Friday), or just the latter? I read that once upon a time the former required a premium membership (the tier didn't matter as long as you had one).

All community events are free to play

Is freestyle chess960?

Yes- aka Fischer Random/Fischerandom, Chess960 is the chess.com name for it.

Hey Everyone! We’ve got some super exciting news to share with you!

Community Freestyle Fridays are up on the Chess.com Community Club by Jan/31!
 

We recently introduced Freestyle Fridays for our Titled Players, and since so many of you asked for a version just for our Community, we’re delighted to host it for all non-titled players starting from January 31st! It will be mainly for the fun, but FYI, we will also give a 3-month diamond membership to the weekly Freestyle Champion.

This means we’ll have fun events almost every day of the week:

Mondays: Opening Roulette! Perfect for those who want to play, practice, and explore all kinds of openings.

Tuesdays: Untitled Tuesdays! Because we deserve our version after Titled Tuesdays!

Fridays: Community Freestyle Fridays! A great way to shake things up and try out random starting positions in every game, especially if you’re feeling a bit tired of opening theory.

Saturdays: Community Bullet Brawl! For all the fastest, wildest, and bravest players out there!


Is there another event you think we should add? We’d love to hear your ideas!

Let us know if you have any questions, suggestions or ideas here in the comments or at community@chess.com

Thanks for being a part of our Community!

I would be looking foward to variant thursdays! Random variants are voted on every week!
