Background
The Daily Chess Championship is one of Chess.com's biggest and most popular events. Last year's edition featured 33,633 players, who took part for a wide variety of reasons.
Players get the chance to compete against people from all over the world in a massive online tournament, the opportunity to win prizes (without needing to be a titled chess player), and many games in which to practice and improve their skills without the time pressure of rapid chess.
Rules
Participants will play 22 games at one time (one as Black, one as White per opponent) using a time control of one day per move. All participants are divided into 12-player sections, with only the section winner(s) advancing to the next round.
The use of engines and tablebases is never permitted, but opening databases and opening books are allowed due to the nature of daily chess. All section winners will be subjected to fair-play analysis to ensure the integrity of the competition.
Prizes
The 2023 Daily Chess Championship has a total prize pool of $5,000, which will be divided over the course of all four rounds. Prizes will be awarded after each round for different categories:
- Best video analysis
- Best blog
- Best game
- Best move
Participants can submit their entries by following the instructions on the event page.
The tournament's top three finishers will also receive an exclusive trophy that will forever be displayed on their Chess.com profile.
