Is the Black Death the same as the bubonic plague?
Thinking back 20 years to public school education, I believe so. Wikipedia seems to confirm this.
Thank you
Erik from Chess.com here. Ask me almost anything!

Just another question.
As I am The King of Patzers, I suggest chess.com insert the initials KP in front of my nickname, as it does with GM, WGM, IM...

One more question... The rule regarding using online databases is not very clear. I know that there were many debates in the Cheating Forum and I do not remember seeing an official answer. Will there be any improvements in this regard?
Engine-derived databases are NOT allowed. Game-derived databases ARE allowed. Does that help?

I'm curious if there are any changes either scheduled, or in consideration, for the forums.
Who would you say is the most famous troll in the history of chess.com? Cheater_1? Lenny Bongcloud? Someone else?

@ Erik I checked out V3 about 6 months ago and it seemed very confusing where as V2 is like taking a walk in the park. Will V3 be like taking a walk in the park when you are done?
Here's the thing: NO software changes are a walk in the park. Do you remember when YouTube changed a few years back and people went ballistic? Remember when iOS 7 came out?
Everyone - ME INCLUDED! - hates changes to software because they are like someone rearranging the furniture in your house. That said, if you take a little time to see why it was done, and just try it out, you will find that there is reason to it and eventually it feels just as good as before or better!

It is better indeed, but... For example take chessok.com ( http://chessok.com/?page_id=352 ). It is a game-derived database, but it also contains some computer evaluation. Some times one can follow the line in the database and trigger some unwanted "flags" of chess.com, right?

You wouldn't do that to a blind person and I am no computer whiz. Just saying, and I'm not the only one.
Since I'm the Tyrant of Patzers, I suggest that they add a TP in front of my name like for Marco's KP and for other people's GM, CM, etc.
How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?
@ Erik Did ever think about putting out a video called "V3 For Dummies"?
I retract my request--TP might get confused with toilet paper!
Hey Erik,
We still need site moderator?
What skills would become a moderator?

I agree. KP for me and TP for the Tyrant of Patzers.
This will improve chess.com: exclusive and unique titled players here !!!!

Is the NSA or CIA involved in your company? Is Chess.com controlled by a political party?

If they got a National Security letter they wouldn't be allowed to talk about. We have to assume the NSA is monitoring everything.
No Marco! They're going to throw toilet paper all over my front lawn if that happens!!!
