May be it is more about having Peter Doggers aboard. He has a vision and grew ChessVibes with very few resources. Bringing news about top level chess on chess.com will expose this site to many high level chess players. I'm sure Erik will talk about it in one of his 'state' videos.
What does ChessVibes Acquisition change ??
Sort:
Most reactions to this news over at ChessVibes seem to be not-so-happy. No wonder, given that chess.com, while popular (which is actually viewed by many to be a drawback as well), unfortunately seems to be infested with trolls and cheaters, along with some other apparent problems that I'll have the courtesy not to mention here.
I don't think it will change much.
first time I heard of a website acquiring another.
(Is chess vibes a website?)
