Celebrate International Chess Day: Revive Your Streak and Earn Exclusive Flair!

July 20 marks a special occasion for chess enthusiasts around the globe—International Chess Day! This year, Chess.com invites players to not only celebrate the game but also to reignite their passion by reviving their longest streak and earning a unique flair.

Restart Your Longest Chess.com Streak

Earlier this year, Chess.com introduced the innovative Streaks feature, designed to reward players for their dedication to the game. Every day you engage in playing or learning chess, your streak grows. However, if you take a break for three days, your streak resets.

Now, from July 20 to 26, players have the opportunity to reactivate their longest-ever streak! Whether you’re trying to beat your personal best or simply want to get back into the groove, this is your moment. After reactivating, your streak will continue to grow as you play or learn, bringing you closer to that coveted new flame color.

Some dedicated members have maintained streaks longer than 5,860 days—over 16 years! While you may not reach those legendary heights immediately, every journey begins with a single move.

Earn An Exclusive International Chess Day Flair

In addition to reviving your streak, players can earn an exclusive flair to commemorate International Chess Day. This flair will be a permanent addition to your profile, but there’s a catch: it can only be unlocked by participating in activities on July 20.

To earn this special flair, engage in any activity that contributes to your streak. Play rated or unrated games, make a move in a Daily game, or dive into chess variants. You can also solve puzzles, take lessons, or utilize Game Review to unlock this unique badge.

Join the Celebration!

Are you ready to make the most of International Chess Day? Mark your calendars for July 20 and join the global chess community in celebrating this beloved game. Revive your streak, earn exclusive flair, and most importantly, enjoy the thrill of chess!

Don’t miss out on this chance to rekindle your love for the game and connect with fellow enthusiasts. Happy International Chess Day!
