Stay home. Play chess. Enjoy Puzzle Battle for free!

[Chess.com] Hello {NAME}. There is a massive global effort underway to fight covid-19, and we salute the health-care workers, researchers, and others working hard to face this unprecedented event. Our heart also goes out to all of those affected by this historic tragedy. For most of us, the most helpful thing we can do is stay inside and help contain the virus. Millions of people are already spending more time indoors, and Chess.com (and ChessKid) have seen a huge number of people turning to chess to pass the time. So here are some ideas - and one feature made totally free! - to help you enjoy chess with friends and family at this time. Invite a Friend to Play Now is a great time to play chess with friends and family. Challenge an old friend... or, make a new friend! When a new friend joins from your link, you are automatically friends. (And, if they signup for a premium membership, you get free [premium membership]( too!) [Invite a Friend]( Teach a Friend (or, Get Better Yourself!) Chess.com is the easiest place to learn chess. And if you have a friend bored at home, nudge them to get started! The best place to start is at our [Lessons](. Courses start from the very beginning and can help anyone become a strong player. [Learn to Play]( Chess for Kids Many schools are cancelled and kids are spending more time indoors. Now is a great time to encourage your own kids, your grandkids, or your nieces and nephews to start playing chess! Have them visit [ChessKid]( for a safe, fun and easy environment to start playing and learning. [Try ChessKid]( Free Puzzle Battle for Everyone! Given that so many people are indoors and affected at this time, we have decided that for the next 2 weeks (and possibly beyond), we are making Puzzle Battles UNLIMITED for everyone. (Also, for those of you on iPhones and iPads… expect to see Puzzle Battle on your device in the coming weeks!) [Try Puzzle Battle]( Join a Club There are tens of millions of players on Chess.com, with a record number of people joining every day. With that, there are thousands of active clubs for every country and interest. Find a club and join a great community to chat with, or play along with in Club Matches! [Find a Club]( Watch ChessTV Shows Chess isn’t just fun to play, it’s fun to watch! ChessTV has a non-stop schedule of awesome shows, tournament coverage, and streamers who are making the game more fun than ever to watch. [Watch Now]( There has never been a better time to be a chess fan. And there has never been more interest in chess. Let’s use this unprecedented time to come together in solidarity and pass the time with the game we love.
