This site is called chess. Why so generic? This is not even a chess site. They could of named it corespondencechess, blitzchess, or or even chessbook since it is a watered down version of facebook.

I think it is because anyone getting into chess is so likely to check this domain. It's kind of a no brainer, isn't it?

Only good thing is the name to attract visitors. Crappy site.

Yeah wish they'd used the same amount of imagination you used to think up your handle.

Yeah, they should change it to Chess&More.com

Chess.com was not the 1st name. Originally it was called "The Pit of Misery.com"happy.png                                                         null
