Some mysterious person bought me a premium membership!
Who's the secret admirer
Not sure I have permission to reveal all.
They can post here if they want credit for the kind gesture.
Offering a premium membership is a feeling that makes you feel good. People must think that on chess.com, a premium member ship is something that cost a huge money in some countries and is nothing for other people in rich countries.

Here in Canada we use big rocks with holes in them as currency.

Next time he should buy you a hairbrush and maybe some emu gel... Just saying.
That's my "free as a bird" look.

((( Giggles ))) It's working for you!
That's looks like the invention of the wheel during the stone age somewhere in amazonia but they didn't know what to do with a wheel made of rock...
Maybe you were the last to post in one of those....."Last Post Gets Premium" threads.....
then they actually work!

Very good point !
Which is why I really dislike those threads which appear to promise the chance of one.
They don't !
Interesting. I never knew this. Anyway. I have never needed a thread since my appearance in 2009, on Chess.com to give away free memberships. I do have one unspoken rule.. Which will now... Be a spoken one by technicality: I never gifted anyone who asked. I chose who to give them to by what I felt that their presence made a positive contribution to Chess.com or my pet team... [That teams name shall remain unpublished] For the sake of not advertising.

Thank you, whoever you are.
