if it's gonna be a chess piece i think a good one would be a knight, as its a symbol of chess 
Chess.com Logo!?????
Sort:
Or how about a jolly roger? you can't go wrong with a jolly roger.
Without a doubt, I think it should be something positive. "Enjoy!" is good...
"Smile!" says it all but may register slightly on the cheese-o-meter
Or something inflammatory like "It's a sport!" 
?Change BETA to FREE - which it is for causal users. I like the idea of changing the sub-line to orange (as per payet).
"RESPEK"

"Enjoy" is not good because there are already three verbs in the bottom (play learn share).
"It's a sport" is too long. "sport" is better but Chess.com is not about sport, I think
For intermediate state before the best solution will be found I think that simple replacement of "BETA" by "RELEASE" or "RELEASED" or "1.0" will be good ;)
Remember regular decorations of the Google's logo? The "beta" from chess.com logo has already a temporary meaning, so you can keep this functionality.
what about CC / OTB

Maybe you can make the .com orange, or the words "play, learn, share" orange. A third option-mix the words "play, learn, share" up-2 words in green like they are now, one in orange- such as the word "learn".
That sounds good... scrap the beta thing completely .. don't need to add something new.

I think putting "play, learn, share" in orange and removing "BETA" would be an interesting first step.
Even better.
FOR YOU
Then the logo can be read as "Chess (com) for you: play, learn, share".
Note that the final dot after "share" in "play.learn.share" in logo is redundant.
since computer is our medium, how about an electron circling the .com? color it anyway u want...
Replace "Beta" with "Not Checkers."
Maybe an orange crown would be nice.

YOUR
The problem is that word "your" looks unnatural at the end of the phrase while it is supposed to be at the right - so at the end of text block.
play. learn. share. in orange is the winner IMHO. Subtle but effective.
BTW, what is the name of the font you are using on the site Erik?
Howabout subtle orange chesspieces, quite small... king, queen, bishop, knight rook...?
