NEW: Leagues

Leagues are awesome and fun! 

The concept is simple. Just play a game (no need to join leagues or anything. Simply play a game.) to get grouped with 50 other players. Keep playing to earn more trophies than anyone else in your group so you can advance to the next rank on your way to becoming a Legend.

You must play your games in the new Play interface for them to count. Games played at the soon to be removed /live do not count for trophies. 

NOTE: all league progress while in Beta will be reset when we fully release leagues.

Different times controls give different points so that you can play whatever time control you like to earn your trophies! However, there is a bonus for games played in arenas. Any points from bonuses earned in arena also give trophies.

Leagues start as soon as 50 players have joined your division so everyone has the same amount of time to earn trophies and run until Sunday. If your division started on or after Friday, it will run until the following Sunday. 

You can see your progress and competitions on the division pages like this one: https://www.chess.com/leagues/wood/Cnkbgpv Your own current divisions will be listed on your profile and home page. 

Just a reminder: all league progress while in Beta will be reset when we fully release leagues.

Good luck and Enjoy playing in Leagues!
