Who owns chess.com?

What do we know about who owns this site? When was it started? Who makes the decisions? Is it profitable?

Ok great info. Good to know. Is it profitable?

none of your business dude... what a dumb and rude question...

bronsteinitz...can you give me your bank account details?

How much money do you have in it? 

You're late to the party.

Nateymar you shut up all of us owns chess.com

the CEO is erik

Here is the info in question. And it is public information.

It's great, JMHO. One can quickly start playing. And when I noticed many messages and comments after weeks, I was positively surprised.

What eludes me is that there are pairings of good players vs beginners. The good players won't advance by beating 1001 weak players, will they? 

lastthirsk, Chess.com bans players for engine use all the time. If those sites are  so much better, why are you here trolling are forms? Go to one of those sites and be a moron.

I wouldve bet my bottom dollar that it wouldve been a bunch of white nar sups without looking at the pic lololololololololololololol 

So, just curious, where is Jay Severson?
