“Get Ready for the Chaos: Chess.com Duck Chess Championship with $2,000 Prize Fund!”

The Chess.com Community Championship is back with a quirky twist – the Duck Chess Championship! This unique variant of chess, invented by Dr. Tim Paulden in 2016, has taken the chess world by storm since its debut on Chess.com in 2023. Now, players have the chance to test their skills in this chaotic and whimsical game for a chance to win a share of the $2,000 prize fund.

The Duck Chess Championship will feature eight qualifiers on September 19, where players will compete in a blitz time control arena for a spot in the Final. Qualifier winners will then face off in a double-elimination knockout bracket to determine the ultimate Duck Chess champion.

But the excitement doesn’t stop there – even if you don’t make it to the Final, you can still enjoy the live broadcast with commentary by FM James Canty and AnittaDrink on Chess.com’s Twitch channel. Players of all levels are welcome to participate, so don’t miss this opportunity to play against chess masters like Andrew Tang, Vladimir Fedoseev, Awonder Liang, and Jeffery Xiong.

And if you need some extra motivation, consider getting a metal poster depicting the infamous duck to adorn your wall. Use the promo code CHESS for a special discount on any metal poster from now until September 30.
