My name is Josh Gates. With a degree in Archeology....and nothing else to my name, I'm here to investigate the infamous legend of the Chess.com buried treasure.  My research has led me to conclude that Chess.com is older than it looks. In fact.....the 1st person to ever post in "off-topic" was a "Knight's Templar". Legend has it that the day before Mr Erik Allbest took his company public on the New York Stock Exchange......he buried 37 million dollars in gold chess pieces somewhere in these forums in case the public stock offering didn't take hold. Everyone is looking for the Templar treasure and since it has the name "Knights" with it.......what better place to look than on Chess.com. Erik has given me permission to dig anyplace so come.....join me, Amy, Steve, and RJC as we destroy another forum week after week on the American dream known as Chess.com.

                                         Underneath the forum....."Site Feedback" is a tunnel where We found 2  24 Carat solid GOLD Chess pieces.........a pawn, and a king....worth $2000.00 EA.                                                            

                                                                                                                                                                                        There's 32 pieces in a chess set.....so at $2000. ea.....the $64,000.00 question is.......Where did Erik hide the remaining 30 pieces?

                                             Amy......what is it?                         Residual threads.............Someone is stalking RJC.......there use to be a thread here.                                                                                                                                 

                             Turns out this "knightscape"s account is 5 days old.....so who did he use to be in his previous account??  I'm having lunch with Erik later.......I'll ask him about it.                                                                                                                                                                  So,...Erik.....did you know Ronnie's got a stalker?    Yes.....it brings back echoes of Red Girl's thread.

Staff are you gonna do anything about this guy constantly harassing me?

                         RJC should be granted all the protections you offered Red Girl.........  24/7 thread monitor........ Free 1 yr subscription to "Lifelock"......  Access to the Chess.com Witness Protection Program....... and a Staff group to join.                            (Erik)......Steve....we shouldn't go THAT far. Ronnie's ex military, he can take care of himself. I heard he single handedly took down 10 threads on lichess last weekend.    You think the "Stalker" is from lichess?     Don't know......that's why we've got a crack team hunting him down.                                                                                   
                                       

                               So, RJC......do you know WHO this stalker could be?                                                                                         I have no idea  Could be an ex-wife.  His IP address comes back from an old inactive account. If I had a nickel for every time someone threw a grenade at me in the forums, I'd be a rich man.                                                                                                                        Steve......he has to be a child. I 1st encountered him HERE.  Is THIS how chess should be played.....with "takebacks"?...lolol.                                                                                                     Did you notice the timeline?  He blocked me yesterday, then 10 hrs later, asked if I can be blocked from the entire site.........We've seen this before, he's simply out of medication and I don't have time to babysit. I suggest you & Amy get back to your investigation.

  We're entering an area of Chess.com that is rarely used..."Help & Support".                                                                                 There's "Demonic Dolls" buried behind this wall.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Ouuuu!....... no wonder Chess.com is so full of spirit activity.  Maybe Steve can do an autopsy.?

                                  So Dave.....how did those dolls die?        The're NOT dolls.  The're old members of Chess.com who died of hyper-posting from yrs ago.                                                               
 

I've gotta follow this

    I'm open to ideas, suggestions or storylines on anything members or Staff would want Steve & Amy to pursue.....just drop me a P.M. I'm going for a colonoscopy in a few weeks. I can't make any promises but on that day......all of my post are going to be full of crap.......just a head's up.

Or bottoms up for the colonoscopy. 

   Erik got a call from "The Travel Channel" today. Then he told me if I wanted to continue this thread, I need to post the following warning for all kinds of legal reasons.                                                                                                                                      Viewer Discretion Is Advised                                                                            Chess.com has threads about Legos. Some of those minifigures don't KNOW the're dead. We have to help them move on.                                                                                Its gonna be difficult to catch those guys because they go from thread to thread on horseback.                                                                                                                            I'm sensing a very evil presense.......he likes knifes and he likes to cut people                                                                               It IS I........SKELETOR!

                    

                                        Steve......we gotta talk.  We normally take cases where there's 4 maybe 8 spirits. Chess.com has 30 million members, and half of them are dead.   I think we need to call in some help.......(Steve).....I agree.  Look, I know Jason Hawes. He's my Roter-Reuter guy.  He's also the head of T.A.P.S.......The Atlantic Paranormal Society.                                                                                                                                                                                                   That's an excellent idea Amy. I know 2 women we can call also. You're a medium.....one is a REAL Jennie......and the other one's a REAL witch. She's married to a guy named Darren.......but her mother's a piece of work.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

              Thurs 7/25/19    9:45pm......Erik looking out his balcony window.                                                                  My site.......My SITE!   All my threads & forums are burning up.   How long is it gonna take RJC's team to get a handle on it??  Have you heard his "newest" cockamemmy plan?  He wants me to put MORE investigators on the payroll,....along with a Jennie......a witch......couple of Goblins.....gouls.......a Ghost----so Lola will have someone to talk too--mediums...Shamans...UGH!...Where will it end??  batgirl....bring me my violin.......and release the Doves.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

                                          Steve....I consulted a fortune teller. She says we're gonna need Government help to clean up this site completely......and I know the perfect pair.                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

   ERIK.......Hey, wait a minute......I don't care if he IS a Federal Agent......we've NEVER allowed guns in the forums and we NEVER will          (Scully)......Its ok Mr Allbest. If my partner gets out of hand, I'll just shoot him again like I've done before. Didn't you see our Christmas episode with Ed Asnor & Lily Tomlim? Ahahahaha,....we we're investigating a haunted site like your own and we shot each other ....that was great.  Nothing says "I Love You" more than shooting your partner around the Christmas holidays.....lol......                                                                                                                                                                                                            

Amy...you just did a walk through the Chess.com Staff lounge. Is THIS what you saw?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     YES.....That's what I saw.

                                                                   There's some skechy____________(beep) going on here!                                                       Looks like Amy is going for the "foul language" achievement award.

                                            Steve.....there is one investigative team that I will not work with under ANY circumstances.                                                                                                                                                                   (Steve)..........AGREED.
