Sorry, I had to share.  Jennifer Shahad just said my name (I hear angels singing) and I won a free chess.com membership from the US Championships.  Chess Mentor, here I come!

Tweeting the best question of the day to them. (#USChessChamps)

Apparently this Jennifer person saw Death coming with his scythe and called out in her terror (and was subsequently misunderstood).  Either that or she began to sing a hymn.  Hard to tell which from the OP's OP.

Yeah!  Can't be a premium member unless you got your blue turnip.

But what question?

I assume they're going to email me with the info to set it up, they just announced it a little bit ago. 

I think the angels were just in my head.  There's a lot of weird stuff that goes on in there.

Blue turnip? That's for diamond. Premium is a silver crown.

That's platinum.  But they're all premium. Smile

Yeah, come on!  You can't start up a thread like this and then not give us the winning question! Laughing

That's the only thing that sucks, I missed them answering it.  (Damn dinner!)  I asked a few questions so I don't know which one they answered.  Here's what I asked:

Yassier and Jen, what do you think about the future of US Chess. Can we catch up with the rest of the world?

Who has won the most US Championships? If not somebody currently playing, are there any current players close?

Why is the Sicilian so popular? (They had been talking about it's popularity.)

That´s more than 140 characters, how d´you manage that?

Avatar of TheBigDecline

For how long do you get a Premium membership? And is that contest (in lack of a better word) for the smartest question just restricted to Americans? 

I could easily come up with some interesting questions, I'm good at pretending interest! Laughing

3 different tweets.

I would guess the contest is open to anyone watching, although tomorrow is the last day of the tournament.

Yeah, I smell one too.

Thanks Alec85. I get distracted thinking about her, it must affect my spelling. Smile

I wonder if I can get a free membership here if I start a thread about U.S. players.

Staff?

Sorry, missed this one.  It's a one year membership.

Avatar of Conflagration_Planet

I didn't win one, but was given one quite unexpectedly by another member on here. Didn't even ask for it! One year membership.
