As many of you know, Chess.com launched its Premium Membership Program just a short while ago, and yesterday we had our very first Diamond Member sign up! We just wanted to write a short news piece to say "Thanks!" to Frank Alejandro (frank713) for supporting the site.
Frank is an avid chess fan, and has posted more information about his chess club in Hawaii here on Chess.com. Don't hesitate to visit his profile and check out all the interesting content he has contributed to Chess.com, including the various events he's promoting as well.
A small quote from Frank regarding his purchase, "I like so far what I have seen at chess.com and its many and upcoming features sound promising! I purchased my lifetime as a sign of good faith that Chess.com is here to stay."
Thanks again Frank! And we definitely are "here to stay".

(And yet another one who can't afford the big bucks, but soon expects to be able)
Thank you, Frank, as they said. You support the site, and we all enjoy it. And that goes to you too, all premium members - I have seen a lot of golden stars around in the site, and as soon as posible will be owning one, I hope :)

Aloha & Mahalo,
To all you as well, I didn't realize I was the first! But as I also promote various other chess activities and non related to chess causes and try my best to make good calls! I am very confident that chess.com will be the one of places to be on-line NOW and years to come. As its offers various types of chess games variants as well, real-time, turn-base, vote chess and I'm sure more types will become popular!
I also like to say that its time chess had more then just a simple rating, and have been promoting CXR - Chess Express, Inc. for over the board games in Hawaii, as it too has features that no other present chess rating program gives us. I believe that additional ratings stats such as chess.com has here is helpful to players as well and encourage others to visit CXR web site and see for themselves. Why should only sports games such as baseball, football, basketball, soccer be the only ones that use stats. As Chess Coach an club director I find chess.com and CXR and others that use more then just a chess rating more useful in seeing how players are doing! One day maybe there be a web site that has links to each of the main chess ratings systems we use such as USCF, FIDE, CXR, Chess.com (Internet) ratings and other countries as well and place in each players profile. Now that would be interesting wouldn't it!
If your ever in Hawaii please stop by our Windward Chess & Go Club in at Borders Bookstore, in Kaneohe, Hawaii! To play Chess or Go!
Mahalo,
Frank
