Over-the-board chess deserves better. So we’re building ChessFam.com A place to find tournaments. A place for organisers to grow. A home for real world chess. We’re in closed beta and onboarding founding organisers and players now! Join ChessFam🧡

Stars, stripes and a whole lot of chess. 🇺🇸♟️ Team USA brought the talent, the personalities and plenty of camera-worthy moments to the 2026 Chess Olympiad. 📸 We caught a few familiar faces over the board! Who’s your favourite player from Team USA? 👀👇

The European Chess Club Cup is underway hosted at one of the most beautiful places - Budva in Montenegro. We’ve been following the action on the ground taking photos. It’s incredible to see the matchups of legends vs amateurs. Round 3 is starting today, worth following!

The past few months have been a tornado of chess for us! We're sorry we've neglected you all here! Is there such thing as having too much chess to tweet about?

This year ChessFam went from pipe dream to getting 50 chess decision makers and creators in one room to connect, collaborate and learn how content can monetise and move chess forward. With all the awesome people we gathered together, no wonder it was the hottest day on record! – at Paris, France

Online chess has brought millions of people into the game. Now we want to help more of them discover the magic of playing over the board. We built ChessFam to make it easier for players to find and enter OTB events, and easier for organisers to reach people who would love them.

ChessFam has officially partnered with the Maia Chess Festival so you can get signed up on our platform! Early bird prices close on 31st July so dont forget to register sooner rather than later: U2000: chessfam.com/tournament/340/… Masters: chessfam.com/tournament/113/…

Why do you go to chess tournaments? To be honest we couldn't beat @Alexandra_chess's answer... Do you agree?

If you could play chess anywhere in the world where would you play? @VincentKeymer04 gave us a pretty good answer

We couldn't decide which chess broadcast to watch the FIDE Candidates on, so, we made a page to switch between all of them without having to search the whole internet: chessfam.com/candidates Which is your favourite broadcast? We're loving @chessdojo for some human eval!

Meet our team! Say hello to @TrymSorsdal he’s the driving force behind our chess crew. We couldn’t ask for someone who cares more about chess and the community and friends that it builds. If you’re looking to expand your chess community join us on chessfam.

Happy birthday to the father of ChessFam, the man, the myth, the lightly menacing quote-tweeter Mike, aka Mr. Dodgy @ChessProblem
