Note For Titled Players

Titled Tuesday requires all players to have their full legal name in their Chess.com profile. Anonymous titled player accounts or accounts found to be using a fake name will not be eligible to win prizes during the event and may be removed from the tournament without notice.

All players must also abide by all rules and site policies found at Chess.com/legal/user-agreement and cooperate fully with Chess.com's fair play detection team. Participants should be prepared to join a Zoom call for proctoring at the arbiter's discretion, and this request may be made between rounds via direct chat in live chess by a Chess.com staff member.

Titled Tuesday debuted on December 30, 2014 as a monthly nine-round event. It became a weekly tournament on April 7, 2020 and permanently expanded to its current length of 11 rounds on October 20, 2020. On and after February 1, 2022, two tournaments are offered each week.

From June 2 through October 13, 2020, Titled Tuesday was part of the Speed Chess Championship qualification cycle and included a knockout section.

Starting January 2, 2024, there will also be cumulative annual standings and prizes as part of the Titled Cup. Titled Tuesday will also return to the Speed Chess Championship qualification cycle in 2024.
