The Speed Chess Championships are a family of annual blitz chess tournaments held and hosted by the online chess platform Chess.com.
History
The reigning Speed Chess Champion is Norwegian grandmaster Magnus Carlsen, who has won the main event four times out of six appearances.[1] American grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura, who has played in every single edition to date, won the event a record five times, consecutively from 2018 to 2022.[2] He had also reached every final until 2024, when he was knocked out in the semifinals for the first time.[3]
Since 2019, Chess.com has also held the Women's and Junior Speed Chess Championships.[4][a] Chinese grandmaster Ju Wenjun is the reigning Women's Speed Chess Champion,[5] and Indian grandmaster Gukesh Dommaraju is the reigning Junior Speed Chess Champion.[6] In 2020, the Youth Speed Chess Championship and IM Not A GM Speed Chess Championship were introduced as further spin-off events.[7][8][a]
The 2024 Finals, for the first time, were held live in Paris. The event attracted media attention due to the matchup between Carlsen and American grandmaster Hans Niemann, which was their first live meeting since their 2022 controversy.[9] Although the players were physically present at the venue, the games were played online on on-site computers in an esports-style format, with a live audience present.[1]
In 2025, Chess.com announced that the winner of the Speed Chess Championship thereafter would be awarded the Naroditsky Cup, in tribute to American grandmaster and commentator Daniel Naroditsky, who died on October 19th, 2025.[10][11]

From 2020 to 2022, the Women's Speed Chess Championship was jointly presented by Chess.com and FIDE.[12][13] The event originally served as a qualifier to the main Speed Chess Championship, just like the Junior Speed Chess Championship, but has since been held as a standalone event.
Events by year
2016
The inaugural event was called the Grandmaster Blitz Battle Championship. Carlsen, Nakamura, Vachier-Lagrave, World Blitz Champion Alexander Grischuk, Levon Aronian, Fabiano Caruana and Pentala Harikrishna were invited by Chess.com, while Tigran L. Petrosian entered through a qualifier event.[14] The format for the matches was 90 minutes of 5 minute games with an increment of 2 seconds, followed by 60 minutes of 3 minute games with an increment of 2 seconds, and finally 30 minutes of 1 minute games with a 1-second increment. The first game of each segment was a Chess960 game.
The final, held on October 27, was Carlsen's last public tournament appearance before the classical World Chess Championship 2016. Carlsen won the first segment by a score of 5½-3½, and extended his lead with a 5-2 win in the next segment. Although Nakamura won the final segment by a score of 5-4, Carlsen still won the match convincingly thanks to his wins in the first two segments.[15]
