Chess.com not working? Common problems and fixes
What usually helps when Chess.com fails for you while it works for others.
Check chess.com from our serverGuides
Disconnected or “Reconnecting…” during a game
Your clock keeps running while you are disconnected, so a weak connection can lose a live game on time. Use a stable network and close heavy tabs; daily chess gives you days per move when the connection is unreliable.
A daily limit on puzzles or Game Review
Free accounts have daily limits on some features, such as puzzles and Game Review. The limit resets the next day and paid memberships raise it, so it isn’t an outage.
The site or app won’t load
Reload, try the app or another browser, and turn off extensions that change chess.com. If it fails everywhere, our check above shows whether chess.com answers.

How does Uptimecheck check Chess.com?
We request https://www.chess.com/ every 2 minutes from New York, London and Stockholm. Any answer below HTTP 500 within 10 seconds counts as up, since large sites often answer automated requests with 403. A failure only counts once a second check confirms it.
What can I do when Chess.com is down?
Check Chess.com’s official status page for updates and try again in a few minutes. If chess.com works for us but not for you, try another network or browser, or clear your DNS cache. If your own product depends on Chess.com, tell your customers on your status page before they email support.
