Chess.com Announces Special Arena Kings: Club Edition On Sept. 3


Chess.com is thrilled to announce a special one-day only Arena Kings: Club Edition tournament with $10,000 in prizes. Arena Kings has long been the premiere online chess tournament for chess streamers, awarding over $150,000 in prizes across seven completed seasons and seeing illustrious season champions like GMs Hikaru Nakamura, Daniel Naroditsky, and Jose Martinez.

Arena Kings events have always been open to all, allowing Chess.com members to take on their favorite streaming stars over the online board. Now, with the release of Club Arenas, you can compete with AND for your favorite streamers. Join your favorite streamer’s fan club and compete with the community to earn victory, glory, subs, and cash for yourself and your favorite streamer!

Club arenas are newly available on Chess.com and embrace the beloved arena format which guarantees non-stop action while shifting the focus from individual performance to club performance. Learn all about club arenas here.

The Arena Kings: Club Edition tournament is a two-hour, 3+0 arena open to all official clubs representing chess streamers, whether partnered with Chess.com or not. Streamers and their community will be able to register for their favorite streamer’s club and will be paired only against competing clubs. Clubs are encouraged to bring as many players as possible to play, and there will be a prize for the club with the most players, but the final score for each club will be based only on the top ten scoring players for each club.

Arena Kings: Club Edition Format

The $10,000 prize fund will be awarded as subs gifted to the most successful clubs. In this way, the prizes go both to support the streamer and their community. Additional cash prizes for various individual performance achievements by streamers will also be awarded. All prizes will be awarded after review from the fair play team.
