: Hive Index lists 6 Chess discord servers on Discord. Most listings with size data are huge (50%) or medium (33%). We only have a handful of listings so far, so treat these numbers as directional. The main Chess topic page covers every platform we track for this topic.

: 4 of 6 (67%) are free to join. The rest require payment, an application, or both.
: On Hive Index, the default Popular sort surfaces The Tavern, Chess.com, Chess Academy, and Vidit's Chess Club first. Popularity reflects visitor interest in communities on the site, not a universal quality score. Use the sort menu for Ratings, Largest, or Newest.
: Listings are submitted by community builders and researchers, reviewed for topic relevance, and updated with platform, feature, member, review, and traffic data where available. Member counts are approximate. Popular reflects visitor interest in communities on the site, with richer profiles breaking ties. Ratings, Largest, and Newest use review scores, reported member counts, and listing age instead.
