🔥

The 69 festival is basically a big change on chess.com that happens once a year. The Festive Day is on 6 September and the Holy Moment is 4:20am on that day. These changes will all happen on the Holy Moment:

All ratings, for everyone and every category, including bots, will be replaced by the number 69. This change lasts for 69 days and after that the ratings will return to normal (with gains and losses)
The daily puzzle for that day is much harder than the day it is in. Everyone who solves without hints will get a 69 day Gold membership and the first 69 people among them will get Diamond.
Five useless squares will be put beside the board as a decoration to make up 69 squares, and each player is given an extra knight to make up 42.0 points.
If you play a game lasting exactly 69 moves on September 6th, you get 69 points added to your elo. If you win a game that lasted exactly 69 seconds, you will have an extra 69 seconds on your clock in the next 69 games.
People who create their account on that day will automatically enter a lucky draw. Every 1 out of 69 of the new users will start with 69 elo more than other new users.
At the holy moment, people whose elo (any category) ends in 69 will have every category rounded to the nearest (greater) 69. E.g. If your rapid is 1169, your blitz is 5968 and your bullet is 970, your rapid will not change, your blitz will become 5969 and bullet becomes 1069.
There will be a free 69 flair available to all users.
Everyone who won a game on that day will get a (fake) GM title for 69 seconds.

I guess that's all, should this happen?

Yes
