How to customize your Chess.com homepage

The homepage is designed to give you quick access to the most popular features as soon as you open the site. However, we understand you might prefer to prioritize other features. That’s why we’ve made it easy for you to customize your homepage and choose what’s most important to you.

Here’s how you can do it:

  • Hover over the gear icon in the upper right corner of your home screen and select 'Home Settings'

Home screen on Chess.com

  • In the home settings menu, you'll see a variety of options that can be displayed on your home page. The layout in this menu matches the layout of your actual home page, allowing you to fully customize your view:

    • To remove a feature from your home page, simply uncheck its box. For example, if you don't want to see your notes, uncheck the box next to 'Notes,' and it will no longer appear on your home page.

    • You can change the position of any feature by clicking the up or down arrows next to it. If you want your game archive at the top, click the up arrow until it moves to the desired spot.

  • If you want your quick links to appear at the very top of your homescreen, you will have to toggle 'Popular Features' off from your home screen settings menu.
