Announcing The Anichess Creator Challenge
The Anichess Creator Challenge is a side event taking place alongside the Anichess x Chess.com Tournament, pitting content creators against each other on the Anichess platform.
The event will be played asynchronously from February 13 at 11 a.m. ET / 18:00 CET / 21:30 IST to February 27 at 11 a.m. ET / 18:00 CET / 22:30 IST and require participants to complete three bounties while competing on the overall Anichess Elo leaderboard live on stream.
Format
To participate, creators are required to create a new Anichess account and play in the main PvP ranked pool. They can play as many games as they'd like in the time allocated to the event as long as all the games are livestreamed.
There is $1,500 at stake as the overall prize fund. It will be divided between the Bounties and Leaderboard prizes.
Bounties
Participants will need to complete the three tasks below to earn a bounty prize. There are 20 bounty prizes available, and are available on a first come first serve basis - this means that if more than 20 claims are made, players who submitted their performance first will be rewarded.

| 1st | $200 |
| 2nd | $125 |
| 3rd | $75 |
| 4th | $50 |
