World Chess plc, the leading chess organization dedicated to expanding the global appeal of chess, has just unveiled the latest upgrade to the FIDE Online Arena. This online platform, operated exclusively by World Chess, allows members to receive an online rating recognized by FIDE, the international chess federation.

The new upgrade, known as Arena 2.0, features an all-new interface designed to enhance the user experience. One of the key new features is the ability to start playing a game of chess with just one click, eliminating the need for registration and making it easier for first-time players to join the platform. Additionally, users can now start multiple games in different time controls, allowing for quicker matchmaking with opponents. The platform also saves chosen settings for a more personalized experience.

Existing and new users visiting chessarena.com will notice a fresh design that aligns with the World Chess branding. The website also offers access to masterclasses, easily accessible from the homepage. World Chess hopes that these updates will attract new players to join the 740,000 current registered users and drive more subscribers with an annual subscription price of €49.

Ilya Merenzon, the CEO of World Chess, expressed his excitement about the new features and improvements, stating, “We are always looking to enhance the chessarena.com platform and provide a better user experience for our community. With a 40% increase in users since our IPO, we are thrilled to see the continued growth and encourage everyone to explore the new Arena interface and join our expanding community.”

With these latest upgrades, World Chess is not only making chess more accessible but also creating a more engaging and personalized online chess experience for players worldwide.
