Two friends, Jay and Erik, founded Chess.com in 2005 after deciding that the world required a superior chess website. When Erik initially developed a chess addiction in college, where Jay served as the club's president, they first met. Their shared love of the game led to their friendship. Although there were several venues to play online, none of them seemed comfortable. The two men envisioned a location where chess players could create their online chess community and gather in one location to play in a welcoming and safe environment, make friends, store their games, discuss their chess experiences, and learn from one another. Jay and Erik put their life savings, their hearts, and the majority of their waking hours into establishing Chess.com over the next several years.
