Forums on Chess.com
New basic accounts start with limited features. They cannot post a new Forum Topic right after creating an account. Play games and post comments, and this feature will unlock over time!
How to create a new forum topic
Hover over ‘Social’ in the left menu and select ‘Forums.’
In the right sidebar, click ‘New Topic’ to open the post editor.
Choose a clear, descriptive title and make sure your post follows our Community Policies.
Use the dropdown labeled ‘General Chess Discussion’ to browse all available forum categories and select the one that best fits your topic (this helps your post reach the right audience).
Once your post is ready, click ‘Post’ to publish it and start the conversation!
Check out these articles to better your post: How do I use the advanced editor tools? and How do I put a game or puzzle in a forum post?
Where do I find my forum topics?
To view all the forum topics you’ve created, go to the Forums page and look for the ‘My Topics’ link in the right sidebar under the ‘Forum’ menu. Click it to see a list of all your posts in one place.
