<chessgames.com: <Did you know, that when Yuri Shulman took the Chessgames Challenge, the very next year he won the USA Championship? Then Natalia Pogonina takes the Chessgames Challenge, and now she wins the Russian Women's Championship.

We call this the "Chessgames effect.">>

I disagree. If it moves, it's not an immovable object. And if a right is taken away, it's not inalienable.

Some people would like 'inalienable' to mean something like 'a right that shouldn't be taken away' ... but that's not the strictly literal sense of the word.

A stalemated king is immovable, and yet, some frustrated player will pick it up and throw it.

Let me just say that I think it's great that you can run the PGN through SCID. It will make the communication much easier.

I think a little bit of experience will help before making a final judgement on it. I actually prefer over the <ChessBase Light 2009> I also run for comparison purposes.

E.g. did you know that SCID will automatically generate HTML for tournament xtabs?

Daniel. Just recently I've purchased a few domain names, I only did about a weeks research, but I think I've bought some really good names. I know I can sit on them on the off chance some other genius (lol) starts up a business and wants the domains, but what I wanted to know was how do you build a website around a domain? I'm guessing that that's how chessgames dot com started in it's infancy, and 3 of the domains are based on football (or soccer as you call it) and I was interested in how you got started and how you get to making money off of the name without just selling it on. Any advice would be appreciated, you have my email address.

If you give me some advice I promise you I'll stay away from the Rogoff, So, Fischer and the cafe page, plus put everyone I argue with on ignore, lol. I honestly will though, I'm interested in how chessgames dot com got started.

Don't mean to pry and apart from <chessgames.com> <OhioChessFan: What exactly is the relationship between Chessgames.com and 20/20 Tech?> <The short version: 20/20 Technologies is a web development company gave birth to a chess site that soon became 100 times bigger than the company from which it was born. Daniel Freeman, the former vice-president of 20/20 Technologies, is now the CEO of Chessgames.

A more detailed version is this:

20/20 Technologies is one of the first web development companies, founded in 1995 by Daniel Freeman and Lee Cummings. In 2001 we were commissioned by Albert Artidiello to create a chess site. Albert had limited-funding but big dreams, so in the early years (2002, 2003) 20/20 agreed to do extensive work on Chessgames in exchange for a stake in the website's business (which at the time was zero, as there wasn't even such a thing as a premium membership, and the advertising didn't even cover the hosting fees.)

For a while it seemed like a really fun side-project but not a business per se. But then, around 2004-2005, the site launched its premium membership and turned profitable. At that stage, Chessgames was capable of actually paying for its development work, hiring GM commentators, etc. Chessgames could have gone to any web development company in the world at that point, but obviously it was in everybody's best interest to keep working with 20/20 Technologies.

In gratitude for all they've done, Chessgames continues to put a link to 20/20 Technologies at the bottom of every page.> listed earlier I'm a bit curious myself.
