Is Chess.com down?
This page checks Chess.com for you the moment it opens. Your browser asks Chess.com's public data service for a small file and shows whether it answered, how fast, and the time of the check. If it answers here but Chess.com still fails for you, try the steps below.
Asking Chess.com…
Waiting for its public data service to answer your device: 0 of 8 seconds at most.
This is one request from your own browser, so the answer is for your connection, right now. It does not test live games, puzzles or the apps, so those can have trouble while this check passes.
How to read it
- The check runs once when the page opens. "Chess.com is answering" means its public data service replied to your device.
- "Check again" repeats it. To go easy on Chess.com's servers it can be pressed once every 10 seconds.
- If Chess.com answers here but a page there will not load: reload it, sign out and in again, try another browser or the app, or switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data.
- If it does not answer here either, wait a few minutes and check again.
Questions
- What exactly is checked?
- One small file from Chess.com's public data service (api.chess.com), the service chess tools use to read public games. Your own browser makes the request, so the result is for your connection at that moment.
- It says Chess.com is answering, but I cannot play. Why?
- The check covers the public data service only. It does not test live games, puzzles or the apps, and it cannot see a problem with your own account, so part of Chess.com can have trouble while this check passes.
- Why does it say my device is offline?
- When Chess.com gives no answer, the page asks this site as well. If neither answers, the trouble is most likely your own connection.
- Is this page run by Chess.com?
- No. Chesspedition is independent and is not affiliated with Chess.com.
