Twice as many tournaments now. Good move.

Thank you very much but I wish I could get more than 2 tournaments per week even without premium membership! or at least more than 2 tournaments per day with gold membership!

Very fun experience to play in a tournament and it's nicely done. I'm really fond of being able to obs other players in the tourney. Makes me feel like I'm in a room with them and after my game finishes I stand up to watch others.

Sad that it's only 2 tournies for us free users. Pitty.

When does the week reset? Which day?

@andrewhoyer if I am not mistaken it only becomes impossible to have more rounds in a swiss system when everybody has played everybody else (that includes bye), so thats not the reason, at least not for my last tournament.

this is dumb because basic members can only play 2 tournaments per week, apart from that... AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

there was a silent celebration in me :)

To those wondering why their tournament ended before all the rounds were complete:  I don't have a definite answer, but from what I have seen, as the tournament progresses, often half of the players withdraw.  My guess is that if it reaches a level where it is no longer feasible (or even possible, in a Swiss system) to play all the rounds, the tournament ends early.

Why are tournaments shorter than what they are supposed to be? My last one lasted only 5 rounds (bullet 2|1), and there were enough players, so it wasn't that there were only 6 players.  

Magnificent!

Thank you Chess.com, you're super. :)

Congratulations! I'll pass the word along. When will we be able to create our own live tournaments? I'd like to organize live tournaments at work - similar to how I organize our "online" tournaments... :-)

@symbolic: then buy a membership!  29 bucks for a year of gold membership =  55 cents a week for gold membership, and you get two tournaments a day with the gold membership.  so, 14 live tournaments a week...and if you ONLY did live tournaments, that comes out to 4 cents per tournament.  Compare this with the going rate of between 10 and 30 bucks for a tourney over the board.  this seems reasonable to me!

This is a major upgrade! Thanks!

Nice...

This is a great idea thank you chess.com. but tournaments limit for the basic player is very merciless. 2 tournaments a week rule is very bad rule in my opinion. There are too many basic member on this site area. If we rule this, many many player will be out of those tournaments and it gonna getting boring. i don't like this rule. maybe 5 tournaments a week would be merciful. We need to highly consider that!

Amazing, an amazing site. To the people who make chess.com, you are true legends!

i know it i played yestreday

To all the staff at Chess.com thank you, you have set the bar a little higher for other chess sites to reach.

thank you CHESS.COM you are trully amazing. more power and success to the admin and staff. one more suggestion i hope you will consider this. please include live team matches so that there will be like a mini olympiad here in chess.com.

I played in a tournament with 2 1 time control which is supposed to be 7 rounds. There were over 60 players in it but only 6 rounds, does anyone know why this is?
