AS YOUR REWARD FOR HELPING US OUT -> You will be given FREE ACCESS into TOP CHESS EDUCATION (Former TOP CHESS ARMY), so you will be able to grow your chess skill and attend coaching calls.

Hello everyone! I have a new exciting challenge for you all. We're introducing a DAILY POSITION LEADERBOARD! How does it work? -> The first 5 people to solve the Daily Position correctly get a POINT (So first 5 to comment with a correct answer and explanation if any questions are asked). At the end of the month - The person with MOST POINTS gets a FREE 30 DAY MEMBERSHIP into TOP CHESS EDUCATION. ONCE you are in Top Chess Education, you can keep extending your membership by simply answering daily positions in Top Chess Education (at any time, you can even answer them days later as long as you answer). If you solve all daily positions throughout the month this will show us that you want to keep learning and your membership gets extended for the next month allowing you to attend coaching calls and other features. It will be tricky as the posts are not always posted at the same time of the day so you've gotta be careful. For this month (JANUARY), the competition will start tomorrow the 5th of january, meaning these first 5 days we won't count into the competition. GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN ALL!

Thanks everyone for participating, sorry that we can't get everyone in but we will have more giveaways in the future too so be on the lookout! Once again happy new year and good luck, let's get elo gainz this year!

There will be a lot of improvements as we build out Top Chess Community Hey everyone, I wanted to take a moment to personally thank each and every one of you for being part of this journey. As Top Chess evolves, the most important thing to emphasize is this: the new direction of this channel will be purely focused on chess improvement. We know not everyone will agree with the changes, and some members have voiced concerns. That’s okay. But the goal is clear: to create a space where serious players can learn strategy, technique, improve their ELO scores, and grow—not just as chess players, but as thinkers. What’s Changing: - No more leaderboard gaming. Typing every number from1000 to 1” or spamming numbers doesn’t improve your chess. It distracts others—and it stops here. - No more Milo talk, F-bombs, or spam. We’re cracking down on non-chess content. If it doesn’t help someone become a better player, it doesn’t belong. - Zero tolerance for bullying or snide remarks. This includes mocking members for asking questions or pointing out distractions. Respect is non-negotiable. Yes, these rules might feel strict—but they’re here to protect the space for serious growth. When you invest time here, you should get results. What You’ll Get in Return: As we roll out the changes, dedicated members will gain access to some incredible benefits: ✅ Earned access to an upgraded “Top Chess Education” channel ✅ Exclusive Top Chess merchandise ✅ Prizes and giveaways ✅ Invites to elite events and competitions And most importantly—you’ll develop the focus, confidence, and pattern recognition that make great players (and successful people). Membership & Legacy These changes won’t happen overnight, but we will get there. If you’re already a member, you’re grandfathered in at no cost. New members may pay a small monthly fee (around $1–$2), but they’ll be getting massive value in return. To those who’ve moved on: thank you. You helped shape Top Chess into what it is today.
