Congratulations, Jay, on having your Chess.com website reach the amazing milestone of having over 1 million members!!!!!!!! Very impressive. It is fun for me not just to play chess online, but to chat with other players from around the world. I am currently playing an opponent in Lucenec, Slovakia, and have chatted with him about his beautiful little town. Chess.com is not only a financial success, but it bridges political and ethnic boundaries seamlessly. Good Job!!!

Dad.

Thanks dad! It's been by far the most enjoyable job i've had so far in my fairly short career and it's fortunate when something you enjoy doing so much (programming and chess) also pays the bills and provides a worthwhile hobby for hundreds of thousands of people around the globe. Glad you're enjoying the site and thanks again for the recognition. Hope your chess is improving, but more importantly, I hope you're enjoying the great mental workout the game can provide.

Man, that's dope. Glad I'm now on the payroll as a iPhone app beta tester. Should be able to retire soon.

I saw on the site that it was up to a million users. That is so cool. I too love the interaction with those from around the world but am a little shy so keep mostly to my favorite challengers--Jay, Scott and Robie. I am so proud of your accomplishment.
