Chess.com
Chess.com is an Internet chess community, chess server and social networking website, and also the name of the company that runs the website. According to Alexa rankings, it is the most frequently visited chess site on the internet.
==History==
The domain chess.com was originally set up in about 1995 by Aficionado, a company based in Berkeley, California, in order to sell a piece of chess tutoring software called "Chess Mentor". In 2005, internet entrepreneur Erik Allebest and partner Jarom ("Jay") Severson purchased the domain name and assembled a team of software developers to redevelop the site as a chess portal. The site was relaunched in 2007.〔 Allebest plays chess at an amateur level. The site was heavily promoted via social media and grew quickly, attracting mainly casual players. In 2009, chess.com announced a takeover of a similar chess social networking site, chesspark.com.
In October 2013, chess.com acquired the Dutch-based chess news site chessvibes.com. According to the website mainpage there are over 11 million members and over a billion live games have been played on the site, along with 100 million correspondence games.
Chess.com has held regular "deathmatches", whereby two titled players are paid to play a series of blitz games (5-minute, 3-minute and 1-minute, all with one second increment). To date there have been 30 deathmatches, some of them held between some of the top grandmasters, such as Hikaru Nakamura, Dmitry Andreikin, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Simen Agdestein, Lê Quang Liêm, Wesley So, Georg Meier, Arkadij Naiditsch, Loek van Wely, Fabiano Caruana, Judit Polgár and Nigel Short.
