Doesn't this article narrate too much on Chess.com's business model as for general encyclopedic article? Zero U Snipp (talk) 14:14, 24 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Merging Torch edit

Latest comment: 6 months ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Torch was nominated for deletion and the consensus was to merge its contents into this article. How should it be done? Should it go under a new heading or will it be fair to add it in features? Jack234567 (talk) 19:41, 23 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Jack234567: Probably under features, since it doesn't fit well under any other heading. See WP:MERGETEXT for instructions on merging. Ping me if you need any assistance. Thanks. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 23:40, 26 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Merge has been completed. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 23:53, 2 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Source for largest Chess platform edit

Latest comment: 2 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

In the introduction, Chess.com is listed as the largest Chess platform. I do not dispute this, but the source listed says Chess.com is "one of the world’s largest online chess platforms," not the largest platform. I believe the source should be changed or the claim should be removed. Knotbin (talk) 22:29, 11 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Knotbin: I've modified the claim to "one of the largest chess platforms in the world". Open to changing it back if new sources can be found. Yeeno (talk) 23:17, 11 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
