Hey everyone,
This is my final note — my last post on Chess.com's forums, or wherever this reaches you.
I'll be leaving Chess.com soon. Many of you know @chief_of_discovery — a wonderfully active and kind-hearted person. He left Chess.com just yesterday. When I asked him why, he said:
"I spent most of my precious time on chess, but now I'm moving on to the next chapter of my life — that's why I'm leaving. ✨"
That hit me. Because when I reflected on it, I realized I've spent so much of my own time coding and managing clubs here. Time that I should also be dedicating to my studies and my future.
I'm sharing this with you not just to explain my departure, but to give you something to think about — whether the time you're spending on Chess.com is truly serving you well.
I don't think I'll be returning, so consider this my final message to both my friends and my enemies.
To my enemies — I'm sorry:
@thedualipagirl@the_friends_of_dualipagirl
To my friends — goodbye:
@anaygupta9@cutiepieboy@MrChatty@stellar_endgame@weirdconbacon@shak7h@nickarumithara-123@batikh-gojo@juliana3377@fm-syn-xin@duo-owl@alishu99@chief_of_discovery
...and so many more.
To my enemies — I sincerely hope you can forgive me.
To my friends — it's been a pleasure. Take care of yourselves.
Goodbye, Chess.com. 🖤
