Chess.com's Realtime Chess Network Now Hosting 94% Of Games, Delivering Faster Speeds

CHESScom Staff Mar 19, 2025, 10:00 AM|Chess.com News

We're excited to announce that Chess.com is now hosting the vast majority of games on our platform on the Realtime Chess Network, the only globally distributed chess server, which we've been developing over the last four years. This means many players who have previously experienced slower connections should see a great improvement in stability and speed—in extreme cases, even seeing 10 times faster responses from our server!

I don't think the tournaments are yet on the RCN network.
