Games played on our dedicated site https://classroom.diplomatchess.com/


All tournaments are hosted on our private virtual classroom and tournament hall. It is safe, streamlined, and in our opinion, offers the best online tournament experience.

  • Players and can easily see standings, pairings, and view games in progress. 
  • We provide parents a viewing link to watch all games in progress in real time.
  • This is a closed community, so no need to worry about offensive messages, usernames or forum posts.
  • Our online tournament directors are actively monitoring games for fair play. 
  • At the conclusion of the tournament, all players emailed a PGN file that includes all of their games from the day. Studying one's own games is one of the best ways to improve.

Upon registering, players will be sent their usernames, passwords and instructions for joining the tournament via email.


Email tournaments@diplomatchess.com with any questions.


*All times are Eastern, and please double check your calendar before registering. In the event you register and cannot play, a tournament credit can be requested if at least 24 hours before the tournament's start time.


*Since USCF Online ratings are relatively new, we reserve the right to pair players based on live ratings, regular ratings, or online ratings- whichever we feel is the most accurate representation of a player's strength. This is to create fair, competitive sections.
