Video: Social networking through online chess

 

"Even if you just checkmated your new friend in India or took your Russian opponent's rook, new chess Web sites like Chess.com are encouraging niche social networking. CNET News.com's Kara Tsuboi sat down with the site's founder to find out what has attracted more than 100,000 members in less than a year."

 

In many ways,  Erik & Co. are a testament to the power of the free market when combined with the pursuit of happiness!  I salute you!

 

Very nice! Well Done Erik et al!!

Congratulations to Chess.com team.Well done!

A well balanced, nicely researched report. I agree with their conclusion: that Chess.com represents the latest in the evolution of the game. Erik's point about MySpace is also well taken--I think this site will be around long after faddish sites of that sort are gone.

i love the free attention, but i don't like showing my crooked face online :(

Wow, congratulations to chess.com. May the force be with you always.

very nice, can we still talk to you? haha

nice to be a part of (good) history.

Is this the man you are referring to?   (nothing like posting a picture of a guy who thinks he has a "crooked face" (not true, by the way) -- well, there goes my membership....)

 

Good-looking monitor...
