How Tournaments Work:

Players are divided into groups of 6

2 winners will qualify for next round

Depending on how many players this will be a couple or rounds or more

Games are played with a 24 hour time limit per turn, max live games will be 5

This allows a casual and none demanding play style which you can take at your own pace.

Feel free to chat and network as you play. The app itself allows you to block anyone that you might find annoying if disrespectful (in victory!)

Media Chess Club is a networking event played through the online Chess App/Website Chess.com

All levels are welcome. We aim to only take entries from professionals in the media industry to keep it relevant for networking. The goal is to provide a fun event that gets more like minded people into Chess and create an engaging event for networking. The long term goal is to grow player numbers and sponsorship amounts to allow players to donate more prizes as chess sets to schools or youth groups of the winner's choice. Building on this our industry leading members could combine media career talks with chess tuition in schools.

Why play Chess?

Chess is quite like a brain tonic which enhances concentration, patience, and perseverance, as well as develops creativity, intuition, memory, and most importantly, the ability to process and extract information from a set of general principles, learning to make tough decisions and solving problems flexibly.
