<\/span>How To Get Chess.com Premium For Free<\/span><\/h1>\n

Chess.com is one of the most popular online chess platforms in the world, with millions of players and thousands of features. I’m sure you also know that a Chess.com Premium Membership<\/a> significantly improves your enjoyment of the platform. Depending on which\u00a0 Membership you choose, it gives you access to unlimited puzzles, lessons, videos, game analysis, insights, computer personalities and more! You can also enjoy an ad-free experience, custom flair icons and time-out protection for your daily games. Sounds amazing, right? Unfortunately, Chess.com Premium is usually not free. However, there is one legitimate way of getting Chess.com Premium for free. Let’s find out how!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span>Step 1: Sign Up for a Free Chess.com Account<\/span><\/h2>\n

(If you already have a Chess.com account, skip to step 2.)<\/em><\/p>\n

If you haven’t already, you have to sign up for a free Chess.com account. You can do so by clicking this link: Free Signup<\/a>*<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to create a free Chess.com account:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go to https:\/\/www.chess.com\/register<\/a>*<\/li>\n
  2. Choose your username. This is the name others will see when playing chess.\u00a0It can be your real name, or anything you want, as long as it follows their community guidelines.<\/li>\n
  3. Enter your email address.\u00a0This must be an email that you have access to, or you won\u2019t be able to receive the activation email to activate your account.\u00a0Your email is not publicly visible, and can only be seen by you.<\/li>\n
  4. Pick a strong password. Passwords must be at least six characters, and good passwords use letters and numbers.\u00a0To be really secure, you can mix in some capital letters or even put in some special characters.\u00a0If your password is too weak (such as 123456) it won\u2019t be allowed.<\/li>\n
  5. Choose your skill level. How experienced are you at chess? This determines what your rating will start as.\u00a0These are the options: New to chess: 400; Beginner: 800; Intermediate: 1200; Advanced: 1600.<\/li>\n
  6. Click \u201cCreate your Free Account\u201d and you\u2019re done. Now we can get that free Chess.com Premium Membership you’re after!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <\/span>Step 2: Get Your Free Trial Chess.com Membership Upgrade<\/span><\/h2>\n

    The second step to get Chess.com Premium for free is to use the free trial that each account is allowed. Here\u2019s how you can do it:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Go to https:\/\/www.chess.com\/membership<\/a>*<\/li>\n
    2. Choose your plan level.\u00a0You can choose to have your trial at Gold, Platinum, or Diamond level, but since each of them are free for 7 days, you might as well test out all the available features with the Diamond membership.<\/li>\n
    3. Enter your payment info. You will need to provide a valid credit card or PayPal account to start the free trial.\u00a0This is to verify that you are a real person and to prevent people from using multiple accounts to get free premium benefits over and over again.\u00a0Don\u2019t worry, you won\u2019t be charged anything until after the 7 days are over.<\/li>\n
    4. Click \u201cStart Free Trial\u201d and enjoy your free Chess.com Premium Membership for 7 days!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      But, be careful:<\/strong> Remember to cancel your free trial before it ends if you don\u2019t want to continue with the membership. If you forget to cancel in that time-frame, there is still a full money-back guarantee for 30 days for first time buyers.\u00a0This means that you can request a refund within 30 days of your first payment if you are not satisfied with your membership.<\/p>\n

      That\u2019s it! You have successfully used the free trial to get Chess.com Premium for free!<\/strong><\/p>\n

      <\/span>Other Ways To Get a Free Chess.com Membership<\/span><\/h1>\n

      The only surefire way to get a free Chess.com Subscription is detailed above<\/strong>. However, there are some other ways to upgrade your account without spending a penny, but they are not guaranteed to give you a free premium subscription. Here’s two of them:<\/p>\n

      <\/span>Chess.com Giveaways and Contests<\/span><\/h2>\n
      \n
      \n
      \n
      \n

      Another way of getting a free Chess.com Premium Membership is to join Chess.com giveaways and contests that they often do. For example, you can enter the Candidates Fantasy Contest where you have to predict the outcome of the Candidates Tournament and win cash prizes or premium memberships. You can also play Guess The Move or Giveaway Chess online and win prizes by guessing correctly or giving away your pieces. You can also check out the Chess Calendar and see if there are any events with giveaways or contests that you can join.<\/p>\n

      Obviously, these are not guaranteed ways of securing a free membership upgrade! But try your luck regardless.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      <\/span>Giveaways by Streamers And Youtubers<\/span><\/h2>\n
      \n
      \n
      \n
      \n

      The last method of getting a free Chess.com Premium Membership is to follow chess youtubers and streamers who do giveaways and tournaments that you can join<\/strong>. For example, you can watch BotezLive, a channel run by sisters Alexandra and Andrea Botez who are both chess players and entertainers. They often do giveaways of premium memberships or cash prizes for their viewers who participate in their games or challenges.<\/p>\n

      You can also watch GothamChess, a channel run by Levy Rozman who is a chess coach and commentator. He also does giveaways of premium memberships or other prizes for his viewers who answer trivia questions or play against him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
