The first half of 2022 is almost over, and what a start to the year its been. So much has happened over the last few months that it can be hard to keep track of all the amazing events, tournaments, and updates weve seen. Lets take this opportunity to look back at the first five or so months of 2022, as well as look ahead to exciting new Chess.com features, community events (including the Global Chess Championship), and more. Going forward, well be updating you on a monthly basis!

Here's what this update will cover:

Our Product team is working hard to bring you useful new features, as well as improve existing ones to make everything smoother, faster, and better than ever. The teams focus this year is on quality and performance. Here are some of the highlights so far:

Lots of the above wouldnt be possible without our hard-working engineers, who do so much of the heavy lifting in the background. Theyre always focused on maximizing the quality and performance of our site and app. In 2022 so far, theyve focused on things including:

Its no exaggeration to say that 2022 has had some of the most exciting events we can remember in recent history, as well as some BIG announcements.

Weve also had some excellent new additions to our broadcast coverage team:

Call us biased, but we think Chess.com has the best community on the internet. But its not just one gigantic chess hivemind (now theres a terrifying thought); Chess.com is made up of many different sub-communities, all of which have their own unique contribution to what makes this such a special place to play, learn, and make friends. Here are some of the community-based highlights from the last few months:

Our Content team works hard every day to provide you with up-to-date news, insightful articles, and the finest chess memes found anywhere that isnt Lularobs Twitter profile.

Overall, were looking to create things that are as relevant and interesting to you as possibleso if theres anything you want to see, let us know. We're listening.

Finally, let's talk about Fair Play. Something you might not know about Chess.com is that we have a whole team of people who spend every day working to make sure your games are fair. If someone cheats against you, theres a very good chance we will catch them. If we do, they dont just get banned (for good), but we will give you back any rating points that you lost by playing them.

Fair Play doesnt just involve cheating to win. Playing fairly also means not being a jerk to your opponent. Sure, we all try some sneaky tactics every now and again when time is running out, but directing abuse and hateful comments towards your opponent (or other members of the community) is not acceptable. So far this year:

We really care about the quality of your experience on Chess.com. As a team, were always focused on improving, and we want to hear from the community when things arent working well! Instead of pushing out as many new features as possible, we want to make sure that all of the existing features are smooth, easy-to-use, and work the way they should. Our goal is to provide all of our users with a quality product, as well as a fun and welcoming environment for everyone to participate in.

Have any ideas? Is there something that you think could be better? Whether its a small issue like a minor bug fix, or a bigger thing that would really make life easier for lots of people, wed love to hear from you.

Lastly, we just want to give a huge shout-out to everyone who is playing in leagues, participating in clubs, playing variants, joining tournaments, sharing in our forums, analyzing their games, and streaming chess onlinewe appreciate you so much! Please accept our gratitude for making Chess.com the biggest and best place to play chess online.
