it happns

 Hrmmm. Memorial accounts? They should develop a new kind of icon to put after the names of these folks (instead of stars, diamonds, crowns, etc). Any ideas? How about a big mothball?

And Memorial sounds too ghoulish - they aren't dead after all.

Too hard to tell what a mothball is at a glance.  My first thought was a tombstone, but that really is ghoulish.

How about a picture of Brian Wilson?

celebrity burnout is pretty funny.

why does everyone keep talking to rael here because he's left?  does that make sense? lol

hahaha i'm so glad someone said this

For the same reason we say RIP to dead guys

same reason?  really?  haha

there should be a group to tell all the new people who join chess.com about this great chess player.

 Why stop there? Let's build a shrine.

 Hey babs, could you send him a message for me?

Strange that whenever i try to view his content now this message pops up:

"Oops! Server error??!

Our servers made a dubious move... and now you have to see this boring page. Sorry!

We're working hard to get this issue fixed - it should be just a minute or two. Please check back soon and we appreciate your patience!"

I'd just started a game with Rael. :(

He seems like a good guy, it's a shame.
