Our first Titled Arenas for next year have been announced - as usual, they will be preceded by a Warm-up Arena open to all players.
A new progress bar in the open tournaments section of our homepage shows you the remaining time of started arenas, making it easier to see how much time is left before you join a tournament.
Congratulations to GM Andrew Tang for winning our Titled Arena December! GM Nihal Sarin took 2nd place, ahead of GM Daniel Naroditsky in 3rd place.
Our December 1+0 Warm-up Arena starts in just 2 hours at 16:00 UTC! You will have the chance to play against some of the titled players before they enter the Titled Arena!
Our puzzle database comes from real user games played on Lichess - see if any of your masterpieces (or blunders) made it into the collection!
Your 2024 Lichess recap is ready! See a personalised look back at your chess activity this year.
