The 2023 Pro Chess League is upon us! Some of the game’s brightest stars have been divided into 16 teams and will be competing for their part of the $150,000 prize fund. Whether you’re a grandmaster or not, YOU can also win prizes as part of the Pro Chess League. Specifically, you can compete in our weekly prediction contest and have a chance to win Chess.com memberships and other amazing prizes.

How To Play

Simply go to this form and fill in your predictions for the week. What will the smallest margin of victory be? How many games will start with 1. e4? How many Sicilian Defenses will be played? Questions will vary each week. If you get the correct answer, you’ll receive a point. 

Prizes will be awarded on a weekly basis as well as an overall prize at the end of the competition, so there’s always something to play for, no matter what your previous results were.

Every week will also feature an especially difficult question at the end that will challenge even the best and brightest among us. This question is the tiebreaker that will help decide the winner if needed.

Even if the chess action doesn’t go how you thought it would, you still have a chance to win a three-month Diamond Chess.com membership just by supporting your favorite team. Pick your team in the form and repost the auto-generated graphic on social media (using the hashtag #prochess) to enter the draw!

Best of luck, and enjoy the 2023 Pro Chess League! We’re looking forward to seeing your predictions.
