Announcing The After Party & The Untitled After Party, Chess.com's New Weekly Prize Arenas
We're excited to announce our newest weekly prize events for titled players and streamers, The After Party and The Untitled After Party! Starting September 9, the new After Party series will feature a weekly prize fund and the beloved arena format.
After Party events will start every week at 21:00 CEST, approximately two hours after the end of Titled Tuesday. The arenas will last two hours and feature a 3+0 time control, with titled players joining The After Party and non-titled players competing in The Untitled After Party.
The event offers titled streamers the opportunity to entertain their fans with yet another exciting competition after their usual Titled Tuesday stream. It also gives non-titled players a chance to compete for cash prizes while being cheered on by their audiences.
Only titled players can participate in The After Party, which features $1,000 in prizes for all titled players and another $500 for titled streamers. Any non-titled player can participate in The Untitled After Party, but only streamers can vie for the $500 prize fund. You can see the prize distribution for the events below:
