Our first priority is to support our own team members in Ukraine. To all who wish to leave Ukraine, we are helping to pay those costs and supporting them as best we are able.
The chess community has come together to raise tens of thousands of dollars in support of Ukraine. We are supporting our community with direct funding and promotion on our site. For example, GM Hikaru Nakamura 's fundraising stream raised a total of just over $135,000 , for which Chess.com matched $25,000 in donations. Chess.com's Chief Chess Officer IM Danny Rensch and CEO Erik each donated an extra $5,000. GM Ben Finegold raised just under $20,000 , and ChessDojo raised just over $15,000; countless members of the chess community have contributed. Additionally, all ad revenue from Russia is being donated to Ukrainian relief efforts.
Seriously, way to go Chess.com!!!
