Titled accounts on Chess.com

Titled players are entitled to a number of benefits, including access to exclusive prize money events, a free lifetime diamond membership, and prioritized support.

If you are a titled member, please be aware of the following restrictions and rules:

General rules

  • If you currently have only one account, you can register a second one for either public or anonymous use, depending on the type of account you already have. For example, if you have a public account, you can register an anonymous account, and vice versa. Once you’ve signed up, or if you already have a second account, use the Titled Player Identification Form to request your title and lifetime diamond membership for that account as well.

  • You are allowed two accounts: one public and one anonymous.

    • Players must have a public account to set up an anonymous account.

    • A third account for streaming purposes, like speed runs, is allowed only upon request.

  • Name editing is disabled on all titled player accounts to ensure adherence to identification rules. If you need to edit your profile name, contact us at titled.verification@chess.com, and we will update it for you.

Public accounts

Anonymous accounts

  • Titled players are allowed to have one public account.

  • Your full legal name must be visible in the profile of your public account.

  • You must use your public account to play in official and prize money events on Chess.com.

  • Social features are disabled by default on anonymous accounts but can be enabled upon request.

  • Titled players are allowed to have one anonymous account.

  • Use your anonymous account for private training purposes. Do not reveal your name or play in any official events with this account, as it may result in forfeiture.

If you have any further questions, please contact our team directly via email at titled.verification@chess.com. Alternatively, you can reach out to our Support Team through the button below.
