Woot! Does "in preparation" mean that they're going to be ready in time for the ides of October?
Chess.com Quick Update - Oct 2011

How much closer?!?!?!
First, Erik is going to have to find a way to provide us all with the free waffle irons he promised (proof by absence of denial) in the occupy chess.com thread. Then, live tournaments. Then, mega-dope spaceship. It's simple maths.

You've got issues.

I would like to be able to use it to vapourise my opponent anytime I get into a losing position or time trouble.
Today we were down for a few minutes in preparation for live tournaments (had to do some gnarly database changes).
Not a lot of new updates lately because we're working on so many HUGE projects that take a long time (live chess tournaments, site update and internationalization).
More updates soon!
