Regardless of what we as Chess.com members are getting, I would like to give the site staff a big THANK YOU! for the work and improvements that have come about this year.  Additionally, I would to thank everyone I have had the pleasure to play chess with, converse with, study with, and learn from on Chess.com this year.  It has been a pleasure being a member of this site, and I'm looking forward to another great year in 2010!

I don't stop often enough to express my gratitude for those who do a good job, or people that have helped me in some way, or those whose company I enjoy.  Thanks to all, and may your holiday season be festive and rewarding!

I would also like to express my appreciation as ndchessnut did in his note #68 to Erik and the entire chess.com team. You have provided a way for chess enthusiast the world over to engage in the royal game in one fashion or another. Chess.com is truly a treasure that enriches all who involve themselves with it. So to Erik and his family and to all of the Chess.com community-thanks and I wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year blessed with Peace and Prosperity.

What we should have for Christmas, therefore, is a massive match between Chess.com and Chesspark!

'C' stands for CHEATING (obviously). You can guess the rest.

A guess-the-move program that uses games of grandmasters and scores you on your accuracy, or at least the soundness of the move.  Similar to the same program in another premium website that has a huge game base.  If I'm right, I probably will let my subscription to that site expire and just rely on chess.com.

This would be a great feature, as long as people didn't use it to stir up more h&d in the cheating forums.

we have this. it's called "Chess Mentor" -> http://www.chess.com/chessmentor

I've asked for the series Kasparov wrote on the former world champions, Nabokov's collected essays on Russian literature, and Pale Fire by that same author.

And Some Chess books I'll probably never read.

Occasionally, when chess.com goes offline, there is a shadowy chess.com (known as chess.com PRIME), waiting in the wings. It is very similar to the one we know, but subtly different. When the site gets restarted, there is the slim but real possibility that chess.com PRIME will emerge rather than the regular one. It is not anything to get alarmed about.
