How Many Users Are There ACTUALLY On Chess.com?
Sort:
Chess games have a certain id. The first game had a number one id. The second one two and so forth. The last game I played was number 3022370772. You can try playing a live game, capturing the number and then playing another one next week to see how much the number has increased.

But then there could be that one guy who plays 100 per week. It has not much to do with the users

But there could also be a lot of people who don’t play in a week. If you take the average of the differences each week for a month or two, I think that will give you a pretty close estimate

There are 20-30K people in live chess 24 hours a day.
So if the average time spent is 2 hours playing, then that's 12 x something like 25K = 300 thousand.
I did a different estimate that got about 400 thousand.
Also, not every person logs on 7 days a week to play. Lets say the average person only logs on twice a week, then we can multiply the 300K figure by 7/2 and get one million active users of the site.
Of course not everyone who comes here plays live chess, so higher than one million seems right.
I don't know about your estimate of 3 million though (maybe it's right, I don't know though).

True I did not read the question well. What do you define as active?

There are 23M members, but a vast number of them are inactive, ie they used chess.com as a platform for a club tournament and played one game.

Go to your stats page and look at the heading global. The number in parenthesis is the number of active players (played at least one game in the last 90 days). You can look this up for Daily, Rapid, Blitz, etc. The last time that I looked, it was around 2 million for all variations of play.

I think chess.com is less popular to lichess. Lichess has on average 25k users active throughout the day so I'd guess chess.com has 15k
You're wading into risky territory...

Thank you for your concern but I'm a titled player. They need us on their site.
Not as much as you think. They didn't invite Magnus Carlsen to play in the Speed Chess Championship because he played on Lichess.

Yeah. Chess.com should send you an email after a year of inactivity asking you if you want to keep your account

Really. It cant be that all 20 million are playing live games every week.
What I want to know is how many ACTIVE users chess.com has. I think upwards of 3 million
