Erik,

I just want to say thank you for producing the best Chess site on the Internet.  This is the only site I've actually paid for and it's well worth it.  I like the fact that you are constantly making improvements and looking for ways to make the experience more fulfilling.  This site has made a huge impact in my OTB chess skills.  I recently placed third in the intermediate section of a tournament here in Jamaica.  I could never have done it if I hadn't found this site and all the great learning material here.  Great job!

Neither can i, i wish Erik had put an approximate date on all of those features, rather than the annoyingly vague "and after that".


what's more annoying - me making predictions that i cannot control and having you be disappointed in the future? or leaving it vague?

 Make pessimist predictions that give us a clue :)
