Chess.com on Facebook!?
Love chess? Love Facebook? Well, Chess.com has finally fully arrived on Facebook! Today we launched our new Facebook Chess app. We had the most popular chess app on Facebook already that was originally built by Jamie Holding, but we decided to bring even more features to the app and bring the development in-house.
If you are on Facebook you might want to check it out:
Keep in mind that it only has a small fraction of the the features found on Chess.com, but it's really cool to be able to play with your buddies who are on Facebook and won't necessarily want to become Chess.com members. Some people ask if we can have it so that you can play games interchangably on Chess.com and Facebook. The short answer is NO - it is technically nearly impossible at this time :) Sorry! If you play on both, they are separate.
For those of you who want to just keep playing chess here on Chess.com but want to help support Chess.com, become a Chess.com fan on Facebook!

Thanks again for all of your support. We're working hard to bring a great chess experience to as many people around the world as we can.

Yes, I am the guy who started Chess.com (along with Jay, Igor, Piotr, and many others). I have 3 amazing daughters, one wild son, and a wonderful, patient wife! I learned chess when I was 8 years old. Since then I have been playing, studying, and enjoying it regularly. I prefer semi-open and closed positions that blow up tactically (like the Closed Sicilian, King's Indian, Glek etc).
