World Chess is the exclusive operator of chessarena.com (FIDE Online Arena), which allows paid members across 160 countries to receive an online rating recognised by FIDE, the international chess federation and world governing body. FIDE is part of the International Olympic Committee. The new FIDE ID Verification system enables instant and secure identity verification on the platform. The system allows users to verify their identity, obtain a FIDE ID, and begin playing a FIDE-recognised game within minutes, removing a significant barrier to entry for competitive chess. The system is powered by Stripe Identity.
