Chess.com Launches New Merch Store With New Tees, Mittens Plushie, And More

The internet sensation Mittens is back—not only as the soul-crushing chess bot that broke the internet but also as an adorable plushie that you can own! Chess.com is excited to announce we'll be launching our merch store on December 9, now with the limited-edition Mittens plushie, a new line of clothes for you to show off your love for the game, and more!

While the store opens on December 9, you can already preorder a plushie of the endearing yet terrifying kitten who took over the chess world. But beware: we can run out of plushies just as quickly as Mittens can checkmate you over the board.

Maybe you're throwing a New Year's party at your place and you'd like to count the seconds down to midnight. If that's the case, you can get yourself the stylish chlock—the intriguing clock that only chess fans can understand. Not only will you be able to keep track of time, but you'll also look smart when you're explaining to your non-chess-playing friends that a queen and two pawns equal 11. 

But what if you're wondering what to wear to impress everybody during your end-of-year festivities? Well, we've got you covered here as well. We're launching a new line of slick clothes to keep you looking fresh. From socks to shirts to hats, we have what you need to look dashingly good while displaying your chess passion. And while we can't promise Elo gains in 2024 if you wear a chess shirt when the clock hits midnight this New Year, well... it doesn't hurt to try.
