Thats the highest I have ever seen!

World championship + winter in the western world + evening/daytime in western world = peak 

I suppose. Chess.com is growing I think. The year before I saw 15 or 16.000 people online. I'd love to see some 'official' stats about this.

Considering chess are played worldwide, chess.com still can grow. When will chess.com go public? Can I buy a share? How much is it? What is ROI?

The number of players ranked in online chess is 356,979. That is much less than 7.000.000, but still a lot of players.

There are also players that do not play online chess and will appear only in the statistics of bullet or blitz or chess960. I am wondering how many current accounts chess.com has. Does anyone know?

ElKitch

But this was people in Live chess being online, not playing Online chess (pretty confusing)

in Europe 18,404 is a bit more than 18 people and 18.404 is 18k+ people.

I think tonight we will set a record: already 15k+ online and the peak will be in approx 3-4 hrs

In continental Europe... In Britain, it's also 18,404 to mean 18+ thousand. I teach English in Europe (continental), and have to mention this point.

Well, where I am (Sweden) we'd write that "18 404" for 18k+ people… We're Vikings, we don't need any dots! Laughing

The same goes for Slovenia, although there are no vikings here.
