What Day Was Chess.com Created On?

Hi!

I was wondering what day Chess.com was created on...

Thanks!

-Rocky

My guess: Monday

yeah, there should be a chess.com holiday on that day.

I wonder what day (number + weekday) and what year.

it was the 27 on a tuesday 2001 (you didn't ask for the month)

i agree with ajttja lol they should make some sort of yearly holiday/celebration on the day it was created. Maybe give out free memberships and get all the admins and staff to play in live chess?

Summer of 2007 I think... there's a topic about it somewhere where Erik gives a brief history of the site.

What month?

Chess.com was created on December 31, 1963 - Oh what a night!

Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right, oh what a night!

Back in the summer of '69.

I've got Friday on my mind.

The website was launched on 1995, then Erik bought the domain name on 2005 and made the website chess related and relaunched on May 2007.

        It was created on a dark and stormy night, under a full moon, in 37bc. I know, because I was there.

   On the 2nd night, Eric said, "let there be pieces".

   On th 3rd night, he said, "I can't play with this forever". So he invented the time clock.

The 12th of never.

(I've got everybody beat with the oldest song reference ;-)
