I'll add my other accounts some day ig.
I'm doing my best to stay in just a couple clubs but clearly I'm not doing a very good job
Join CVC!
(aka Chess.com vs Chesskid)
It's a great club with an all-star line-up for its staff! We've got @Caleb341 as owner, one of the all around GOATs of club management. Our first SA is @F1-24, the most dedicated SA I've ever seen. He refuses to join other clubs so he can focus on making CVC great! We've also got @TheAuthorOfChickens, who makes more forums in a week then I do in a year, and @Carlsen, another incredibly skilled super admin who also runs iCHESS. There's also me, @qoiuoiuoiuoiu.
We've also got @fishers4men as an admin, and he does an incredible job on our staff team, especially with moderation.
We've also got an expanded team of Coords, so I'll just shout out a few of the best. @Scemer is a legend, maybe not as active as he used to be, but still a pretty darn devoted coord (if a bit overly formal and verbacious). @FullCrowdedBadger has been around from the very start, and has been a bit busy due to work and all that, but still manages to stick around at CVC. Then, we have our daily match creating team: @mjtcan, @TheCosmic_Horizon, @Champion, and @Reaper-2015. I mean, between them they are literally creating 20-30 daily matches EVERY DAY. Finally, we've got @NoahDeAlwis, our dedicated Vote Chess coord, as well as our CVC night shift rep (since most of us staff are in western time zones).
We take pride in being an incredibly active club! We have a 100% activity rate and *nonstop* notes - you might even want to turn off your notes notifications! We are also a competitive Vote Chess club - we have hundreds of VC running right now. We're also very strong in Daily Matches - we've got coords making over 20 open seeks per day and are rapidly climbing the rankings. We're competitive on a level that we have a subsidiary club devoted to managing VC and Daily Matches - the CVC Powerhouse! Another cool thing we have is an incredibly active forum - on average, we get 8-9 forums posted on a single day alone! People are always running fun games, competitions, and posting funny memes, and as a large club (over 5000+ members!!) we get invited to A LOT of multiclub tournaments and events like that!
So, what are you waiting for - click the CVC banner above to go ahead and join! (as always, not a forcing link to join)
Full disclosure: I am a super admin at CVC but I promise none of the above is biased (well maybe a little bit lol). I joined kinda by accident, stayed because it was an active club, and can honestly say that it is the single best community on chess.com! Don't take my word for it - go join!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's a dead club (The Blitz Empire) that you can join if you want : ). Honestly, I have no plans to revive it, but the owner, @Curve2x might come back. He's been inactive recently, but he showed up a couple weeks ago, so maybe he´s coming back. (Apparently he got one of those fancy ChessUp boards)
Speaking of @Curve2X, check out his twitch channel!

"I don't do a lot of public speaking, so I looked up a memorable quote to start my speech, and this is what I found. OK, you're staring at me blankly, but this whole thing is a quote. I know that sounds confusing, but... you know what, never mind." ~ XKCD #1942

My game showcase (mostly for personal use lol):
90% accuracy draw (in bullet) https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/127326627913?tab=review
Upset rapid win https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/91243764077?tab=review
Two brilliants in one game & found a M9: https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/daily/739333233 (excuse the 48% accuracy, I'm terrible at 960)
90% accuracy in 34 moves!!

P.S. I'm planning on posting a VC data blog. If you don't already know, I'm a stats nerd, and collect a ton of VC data focusing on the Top 16.
My Graveyard:
@TerminalNZ Went dark in early 2024. Terminal, or Natural Molecule was around from the very start of CVC. Mysteriously went inactive, then closed like half a year later. He was part of the first great group of staff in CVC.
@BattleChessPlayer007 Closed Feb 13, 2025. I didn't know him too well, but learned more about him before he closed. Farewell Blog Link
@Jared - Former Super Admin of CVC, along with many, many other massive clubs. One of the all around greatest club administrators of all time, as well as a genuinely nice person and great friend. He left to focus on his life and school. Farewell Blog Link
@OmarVahidov - Pretty good friend; great chess player. I got lucky and beat him a couple times in bullet lol. He had a habit of "vahidoving" players when he was up a lot - checkmate with 5 rooks. He just randomly closed one day. RIP.
@Deflection - A close friend. I met him like 2 or 3 years ago in UCN, but only really got to know him in CVC and his young club, Deflect to Victory. He was a capable club admin as well, but left cc when life got busy. Farewell Blog Link
Mortuary (people who are temporarily offline):
@Sailsword - closed. He's taking a break from cc.
