If you want to test out new features before they are released, join the Beta and help us out! You only need two things to join the Beta:

  1. Your account be at least 30 days old.

  2. You must comment on or create at least one forum post or blog.

If your account meets the requirements, just follow the steps below to join the Beta.

How to join the Beta

  • From anywhere on chess.com, hover over 'Settings' in the bottom left of the screen, and click 'All Settings'

  • Click 'Beta' from near the bottom of the list

  • Click 'Join Beta' on the next screen

  • Next, join the Beta club here: https://www.chess.com/club/chess-com-beta - Once you have joined the club, you will be able to comment about any bugs or issues you experience in the Beta.

📝 The Beta has limited space. If it is full, you will not have the option to join. Check back later to see if there is more space!


Android

  • First, open up the Google Play Store, and find the Chess.com app - Do not open the Chess.com app, instead, find the app in the Google Play Store as if you were going to install it

  • Scroll down to the very bottom, past the reviews, and below the developer contact:

  • Tap 'Join' and select 'Join' from the pop-up message:

  • After about 5 minutes, an update will install, and you will then be on the beta version of the Android app.


How to leave the Beta

If you decide to leave the Beta, you can always return to this same screen and tap 'Leave.' It will take about 5 minutes for you to be removed from the Beta, and you will no longer receive beta updates.

Be sure to reinstall the app to remove any beta updates and return to the regular version of the app.
