Hmm, what can you mean?
You are already in Legends.
I guess you are going to win your division this week.
Is there any point to continuing to play so much?
RIP Legends Club

Wow. Get ready for some gnashing of teeth and wailing.
I hadn't seen the news because I had disabled all notifications from the club several weeks ago in the wake of all the notes spam.

Important Update: The Future of the Legends Club
|9
Dear Chess.com Legends,
We want to thank you for your dedication and competitive spirit in the Chess.com Leagues. Reaching Legend status is a significant achievement, and we appreciate the passion and effort you’ve put into climbing the ranks.
Over time, we’ve seen that the Legends Club hasn’t provided the value or engagement we originally hoped for.
Over time, we’ve seen that the Legends Club With millions of members and limited interaction beyond joining, we believe that access to the club is not serving as the reward we had hoped. While many members still take pride in reaching Legend status, the club itself has not become an active community space.
Additionally, the sheer size of the club has presented serious technical challenges, particularly with spam moderation and tournament functionality.
We hoped to host a robust tournament schedule, but our current tournament infrastructure cannot support a club of this scale, making it impossible currently to deliver the kind of experience we want for our Legends members.
What’s Next?
- The Legends Club will officially close on Feb, 10 2025.
- We recognize that players are still excited to reach Legend status, and we are actively rethinking Leagues as a whole. While we don’t have details to share yet, we are committed to improving the experience and will provide updates in the future.
- We are exploring new, better ways to reward and recognize our most dedicated players, including potential exclusive perks like unique flairs or board themes.
We appreciate all the feedback and discussions from our community, and we look forward to bringing you something even better in the future.
Thank you for being part of Chess.com and for your continued passion for the game!

If I recall rightly, there were still less than 50,000 members when I became a Legend.
it all ended with more of a whimper than a bang, but, by and large, I enjoyed it.

Am I correct in thinking that there will still br new Legends coming on board after the closing of the Club?
And promotions through the levels?

Members will still be able to promote. They just won't be added to the club, which is now disabled.
It will be all over in 5 hours time.
