Update on the numbers: 6.6 million has been passed. As Jackie Gleason used to say " And away we go ! "
This Site Will Soon Have 7 Million Members !!!
Thanks for the new posts. When you first sign onto Chess.com and get the " welcome page " there is a list in the top right-hand corner which also tells you the number of people that are here at any given time.
Maybe 7 million accounts, but no way is there 7 million people. I have 3 myself.:)
no kidding?!
Thanks for the new posts.
I won't go into a long boring story Re this thread except to say that all of the boring details are in my previous thread on numbers ( Yup the 6 million thread ). At the old thread starting with post #1 we have all of the history explained ( to give out a little hint it has to do with the endless naysayers ).
So many nice people, all trying to play Chess and making friends! Can this be true? Or am I in a coma dream?
I'm with you there TheBigDecline, we have a lot of nice people here ( and it is best to just try and avoid " The Others " ).
I was blind, but now I see ...
Aah, I'm way too drunk for this conversation. BTW, the 7millionth guy will probably register alreadyby by next week, and by the end of the year it's very positive we'll have something like 10 million members. And then Chess.com will enter the stock market ...
That is great about all the members. How many of those 7 million have a chess rating here?

Apparently, 5 out 6 people only visit Chess.com for the nice atmosphere. Of course, Blitz is the most played time format, and only 1 out of 20 (!!) even bothers to play Correspondence Chess.
Well we have now reached the mid-point between 6 million and 7 million, yup the 6.5 million mark has been passed.
