Father of 2..i mean 3! Love to live life.

Been working on this for roughly 2 years and finally it's in the app stores! Super excited to get your feedback. I've always wanted to make a really solid mobile app that is strongly inspired by Cities and knights and seafarers but that plays a lo...
My name is Jay and I co-founded Chess.com along with Erik way back in 2006. Why? Because I have a passion and love of games! I was chess club president in college, played games on my Commodore 64 growing up, spent countless hours on every type of ...
Woke up at 6:45am this morning, finished packing, got the kids ready, picked up my father-in-law, and headed to the airport to catch a 9:25am flight. Always a little bitter-sweet saying good bye to the kids, knowing you're gonna miss them, but als...

Here is another game I played this evening at Santana Row. Once again, not sure of my opponents strength, but he was russian, and that's all that matters. :)
This was a 5/0 blitz game I played this evening at Santana row. The guy I was playing is a pretty strong player, about 2000 I believe last I checked at the local chess club. When I mated him...it took him nearly 10 seconds to realize he'd been...
Was just going over some old games, and was excited to post some of them here on Chess.com for others enjoyment. This is an extremely messy game that just seemed to get more complicated with every move. I had Bisguier analyze it, and he was left s...
