Shared by Anastasia • October 04, 2023

We're excited to announce that we have migrated the Masterclass platform from masterclass.worldchess.com to Chess Arena - now accessible at Chess Arena Masterclass.

This exciting move enables us to offer an even richer array of educational materials, including puzzles and the opportunity to watch videos from top grandmasters. Plus, you can now participate in live online webinars with these grandmasters on a monthly basis. For our PRO subscribers, you also gain access to the video archives of previous masterclasses.

If you were a subscriber to masterclass.worldchess.com, your subscription is now active on chessarena.com. W/hat's more, to show our appreciation for your loyalty, we've doubled the length of your subscription when transferring it to Chess Arena.

For those of you who held a PRO subscription exclusively for Chess Arena, here's the exciting news: you now have access to all the Masterclass content as well.

Your feedback is precious as we strive to enhance your FIDE Online Arena experience. Please don't hesitate to share your comments or concerns with us through Intercom or by emailing us at support@chessarena.com.

We’re excited to share a major performance update to the Chess Arena website, which has recently been completed. This update brings faster performance due to the implementation of the Server Side Rendering service as well as bug fixes.

The website now runs faster and smoother, with no delays. The standard ping time has been reduced to 40-80 from 200+.

We are also working on several important features that have been highly requested by our users. One of these features is a new Light Theme, which will be released within the next 4-6 weeks. Additionally, authorization through social networks will be available starting this week.

We value your input and welcome your ideas for Chess Arena’s development. If you encounter any bugs or have suggestions, contact us through Intercom or email support@chessarena.com.
