How is chess.com handling the recession? I hope it stays in business for a long time.

Crossing fingers! And with new features to lure new comers just like a fish attractor such as a gang troll or what is called a Xmas troll or a `chapelet` in french.

I believe Erik has said that he is chess.com is large enough to be stable, and will stay for a long time to come!

With all the $ they're making off your premium membership, they're handling it just fine :)

Being the #1 chess site on the Internet, I have no worries.  Cool

Me neither.  This site could almost sustain itself. (Notice how I said almost)

Premium membership in Chess.com is a fantastic bargain.  The endgame videos alone are worth a year's premium membership.
