GG everyone!! Prizes won't be given out immediately cause of fair play checks peepoDetective but if you're in the top 20 and have a connected account, DM me on chess.com (https://www.chess.com/member/anittadrink) with your discord handle (e.g @last coral 's discord handle is ChesscomBot#9806) and I'll add you a cool little arena champ flair if you want. HYPERS ❤️ great job, this was fun! <@&1023223197048524890> We'll be doing more of those! stay tuned!

Results are in! This week's top 20 can be found pinned in this thread:#1076958515215728681 winner

Each week's top 5 players will get a special role until the next arena pops up: <@&1077717378105868469> , which is visible on the left side panel of the server. Since this will be a weekly tournament (happening on Fridays from now on), you guys will only get to keep the Arena Champ role during the month that Arena was held in. That way, it will always showcase the current champs of the server!

Congrats to the winners diamond HYPERS

see you all on Friday for our next battle arena <@&1023223197048524890>

No cheating accusations are allowed in the server, don't worry, we will be checking the tourney for Fair Play. Cheating or Sandbagging is already bozo behaviour, doing it in the official Chess.com Discord Server Arena - which is rated and has prizes - is like trying to rob a police station.

Weekly Arena Update: New Rules

Hey guys, as you have probably noticed, we "skipped" over last week's arena. We heard your feedback and we'll be introducing some changes to try and reduce the amount of cheaters, unauthorized alts and sandbaggers that participate every week. From now on, the arena will no longer be open to join. Instead,** in order to compete, you'll first need to be a member of our new Chess.com club**! We hope this extra requirement helps us control the participants more efficiently.

We'll resume the arenas - with free diamond for top 3 and for a random user, as always - once the club gathers enough people, so hop on in 🙂
<@&1023223197048524890> @here

TO PLAY IN THE NEXT ARENA:

  1. Connect your chess.com and discord accounts in https://www.chess.com/settings/connected-accounts
  2. Ask to join this club by sending us your discord tag in the join note: https://www.chess.com/club/chess-com-discord (Example below)
