Grand Master Roman Dzindzichashvili

Hi , my name is Roman Dzindzichashvili! I am one of the founders of Chess.net. I started Chess.net back in 1993. As a free service it grew with over 500,000 registered users.
You were one of them, and I'd like you back! Chess.net values your membership and in order to get you back, we are offering you a full year of membership for a fraction of the cost.
Many of you have suggested that you would return if we could offer some new and exciting features. We are constantly listening to our members!
I'm happy to inform you that you can now watch instructional videos live on Chess.net!

  TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR USERS New!

Hello ! My name is Brian. I am 25 years old.
When I am not busy studying law or playing with my daughter, you can catch me on Chess.net! My handle is B25.
When I first came to Chess.net I was hesitant about paying a membership fee even though it was only $30. But I can honestly say, it was well worth it. I am not a grandmaster, but I am learning and Chess.net is helping me. Whether it is in tournament play, games with grandmasters, or playing the owner of Chess.net John Fanning himself, there is always excitement on Chess.net. Read More

My name is Dan Stancu or Dan Schenker as friends call me when they see me playing guitar.
I am a creator, a guitarist, a computer freak, a father, a husband, and well...a chess player. I have been playing chess all my life from the age of 5 and I treasure it with all my heart-being.
In the chess realm I am known as King_of_Romania.
There is no way I will go to any other chess applications or web sites. There are many reasons why you need to play chess properly but there are even more needs to be able to play chess and to enjoy playing it. Read More

Allo! I am Mercury_Kiss at chess.net, and you can call me Mar. I joined in September 1999 and still visit the site.
Through ups and downs, there were some good moments in chess. Now I have less time and play tournaments, but still find some old friends to play casual blitz and socialize with at chess.net.
It looks like there's a strong initiative and will to improve chess.net in 2009, by those behind the scenes. Best wishes, and see you there!
