The Titled Tuesday Blitz for the 26th August was the last under the current format. This Chess.com event has run since 2014 and has had an early and late section since 2022.
From the 2nd September there will be just one Titled Tuesday Blitz each week, it will take place at 11am Eastern Standard Time, 17:00 Central European Time and 20:30 Indian time.
Other changes include a move to five minutes per game and a weekly live show produced by the chess app "Take Take Take".
Titled Tuesday will be part of Chess.com's qualification process for the Esports World Cup (EWC) which will take place in Riddah next summer. The not unreasonable bet is that this event will continue to grow in importance, hence the changes now.
