BlogChamps

Season 8 Registration Closed. Season 9 in July 2025

Staffed and judged by Top Bloggers, and open to anyone, BlogChamps is the largest and most active blogging club on Chess.com, and the oldest club where writers can use their blogs to enter a competition!

First, there is a qualifying stage that lasts two weeks, where writers can enter blogs that will get graded on a scale of 1-10. Writers who qualify will create one post every two weeks, until you get eliminated, which happens when the six judges (@AstroTheoretical_Physics, @nbrasington, @KevinSmithIdiot, @JustGettingThisOffMyChess, @NMChessToImpress, and @VOB96) decide that your opponent made a better post than you. This continues until there is only one blogger left.... the BlogChampion!

The prize? @VOB96 or one of the other Top Blogger judges will recommend you to become an official Top Blogger for chess.com, which is exactly how @Lightning (the club's founder) became a top blogger. Besides, we also offer a one month premium membership and a gift card of $25 to the season winner.

Even if you do not win, the competition is certain to have a positive impact on your blogging. 15 (and counting) members (including well-known writers such as @Nimzo-IndianaJones, @SheldonofOsaka, @Fire, @YEAT, @Don, @nbrasington, and @AstroTheoretical_Physics) have become Top Bloggers after competing, and of those only 2 (@Fire and Don) have done so after winning recommendations.

Even Top Bloggers can join to share their knowledge and learn from others in the club, and just enjoy the community overall. From brand-new bloggers, to non-bloggers who just want a good time, to the best of the best, there's something for everyone in Blogchamps!
