Two Texas cities. One online battlefield.

The Dallas vs San Antonio City Chess Showdown is a one-time online team tournament designed to bring city pride into competitive chess. Players compete in 100-Elo rating brackets, ensuring fair and competitive matchups at every level.

If multiple players register in the same rating band for a city, a mini double-elimination playoff determines the city’s representatives. Once selected, representatives face the opposing city in a two-game match (one as White, one as Black), with a 5-minute tiebreak if needed.

Each bracket winner earns one month of Chess.com Diamond, sponsored by Chess.com.
