How Chess.com Became the King of Online Chess Did you know Chess.com started as a humble dream in 2005 by Erik Allebest & Jay Severson? They wanted to create a platform where chess players worldwide could connect, learn, and compete. What began as a small community is now the world's largest online chess platform, with over 100 M users! In its early days, Chess.com stood out by offering more than just a place to play—it became a hub for learning. With interactive lessons, puzzles, and expert commentary, it has helped players of all levels grow their skills. Over the years, Chess.com has embraced technology, integrating AI-driven analysis, hosting live tournaments with grandmasters, and even partnering with influencers to make chess cool again. Its acquisition of Play Magnus in 2023 further solidified its leadership in the chess world. From casual players to world champs, Chess.com has become the go-to platform for anyone who loves the game. What’s your favorite Chess.com feature?
