Chess.com's First Diamond Member!

As many of you know, Chess.com launched its Premium Membership Program just a short while ago, and yesterday we had our very first Diamond Member sign up! We just wanted to write a short news piece to say "Thanks!" to Frank Alejandro (frank713) for supporting the site.

Frank is an avid chess fan, and has posted more information about his chess club in Hawaii here on Chess.com. Don't hesitate to visit his profile and check out all the interesting content he has contributed to Chess.com, including the various events he's promoting as well.

A small quote from Frank regarding his purchase, "I like so far what I have seen at chess.com and its many and upcoming features sound promising! I purchased my lifetime as a sign of good faith that Chess.com is here to stay." 

Thanks again Frank! And we definitely are "here to stay".

I don't have any money, but once I get older, I can be rest assured I'll get the top two memberships.

Nice one Frank, but I noticed a big fat diamond next to Billwall's name last week... isn't he the first?

Congratulations, Frank; you are still the same great guy you were back in high school so many years ago!  And thanks again for inviting me to join this great website!  I am hooked and hope to be getting a diamond membership someday soon!

I had wondered how this website made money; how they could afford to stay in business if people can play for free.  Thanks to the generosity of people like you, it is possible for chess lovers of lesser means to be able to enjoy playing chess with other chess lovers around the world!  Thanks!
