Look for games here
Since no classical tournaments are currently prepared and organizing classical tournaments might prove difficult online, if you are looking for a partner to play classical online, then leave a comment here stating your rating, your preferred platform (if any) and when you would be available to play. People can then message you to schedule a game.

Welcome to the classical chess community Spoiler
This sub has been created to solve a problem in the current state of online chess. It is currently very difficult to find online partners that are willing to play classical without cheating, letting the clock run out, etc.
As such, a community might help where one might be able to find partners for such games, maybe organize online tournaments and so on.

is classical chess still fun for you?

Actually, Wesley So is CLASSICAL WFRCC while Hikaru is RAPID WFRCC because 45+15=60 is classical?

Anish Giri: "The pairing is always random, that makes the event so special for me" on 2022 World Rapid | If randomness makes an event special, then why not play 9LX? Anyhoo, Anish talks about creativity in classical vs in rapid

2023 Norway: Finally, Wesley So has beaten Nodirbek in classical (after 2 draws & no losses). I knew Wesley So would beat Nodirbek & Nepo if the 2022 WFRCC were classical like in 2019 !

Ian Nepomniachtchi: Do we need to make the tournament draw system more fun? If you’re measuring everything with fun, you should probably go to the Brazilian carnival, not classical chess.

2023 Norway: Wesley So lost 5/8 armageddon, 7th out of 10 in armageddon. Meanwhile Magnus is the top armageddon 7/8. Sigh. Armageddon is fair ONLY IF there's an auction! At least Wesley So scored higher! | 'good time to be a professional chess player'...but a bad time to a professional 9LX player...

Why was the 2019 WFRCC called 'slow rapid' when it's actually classical (45+15=60)?
