You didn't install the Chess.com browser toolbar, did you?

It can be very difficult to determine how malware gets on your computer. It's possible that the ad service used by this site has one or more malicious ads. However, it's much more likely that the malware came by some other route; Wrappers connected with some freeware download sites, clicking on the wrong link (either on a web page on in an e-mail), other reputable sites that you visit that have been hacked with malicious Javascript, etc. The list is almost endless.

A couple times when I was in the middle of the game it just went off to some ad site.  Lost the game. Using Microsoft Edge.
