Opening Roulette is a new and exciting way for chess improvers to broaden their skills and get comfortable with different openings. Winners of the tournament can receive coaching sessions with respected Chessable authors, Chessable credit, and Chess.com Diamond memberships.

Two weekly ‘Opening Roulette’ rapid arena tournaments will be held in the official Chess.com Community Club every Monday starting from January 22. The tournaments will feature different openings each month, giving players the opportunity to gain experience with unfamiliar strategies in a fun tournament setting.

The first opening to be highlighted is the Queen’s Gambit, one of the oldest and most reputable 1.d4 openings in chess. With the recent popularity of the Netflix show, it’s also one of the most searched and well-known chess openings in the world.

Prizes will be awarded to top finishers, with special categories for players rated under 1500 Elo and bonus prizes for players who live-stream their games. Monthly prizes include Chessable credits, Diamond Chess.com memberships, and Twitch gift subscriptions.
