Membership Plans Update

World Chess is moving from a simple two-tier membership system (“Free” and “Pro”) to a new multi-level subscription structure designed to give players more flexibility and clearer feature access.

The updated plans will introduce a progression of membership levels:

Current PRO subscribers will automatically be moved to the Platinum plan with no interruption to their subscription. Pricing for current PRO members remains unchanged at €5.99/month or €49.99/year.

Firstly, register on worldchess.com using your email or socials. It's free and takes a second. Then click on "Upgrade to PRO" in the upper right corner of the webpage, and choose your payment method.

The entry-level plan for casual users and beginners.

Typical features include:

Best for: casual and regular players who want premium training tools and an ad-free experience.

Best for: competitive players who want official ratings, tournaments, and deeper performance tracking.

Includes everything in Platinum, plus:
