Chess.com TV Group "Grand Opening Bash!"

  Our doors are now OPEN!!!!

   -Mark

great, thanks Mark!

hope today's show was well received. what were the viewership numbers like?

i guess there'll be more this afternoon when the PoB is open to basic and gold, but the London Chess Classic was sure exciting!

This time make it the same time, only 12 hours earlier. 

   David, the numbers are in the message I sent you. Pretty good turnout today!!  Great show!!

Hugely enjoyable. Unfortunately i only managed to grab parts and couldnt really join in disscussion because i had family around.:)

  I want to thank everyone who was at the Grand Opening broadcast today and also those who showed support for Chess.com/TV joining the official Group that opened up at 11:45 AM on Wednesday! It was a great 2 and a half hour show, with a lot of special guests and a lot of Live Chess games. For those of you that missed it, check on the replays On-Demand! Thank you all again!!

An absolute pleasure Mark.

Unfortunately i could only catch the first 1 hr 10 mins as my daughter has toothache and i had to take over from mummy for some time. Shes in the dentist this morning. Bless her,:)

I especially enjoyed the youngest master section. some good points but i can as you say "catch up".

Is it possible to find out a little more about the special Guest GM who kindly participated on the show?

  Paul, you're talking about GM Hammer? Sure, I'll put up his blog page in this link for you and everyone else to see.

  We are at 90 members everyone!! 72 members joined in the last 3 days!! That has to be a new single group record or something. To all of those who joined out there you are awesome!!  There's always room for more though

Cheers Mr Mark. Upgrade from Mark I  :)

i would be real chuffed with 130-200 members. Its a real possibility i hope.

  Paul, you have the same hopes as I do. There's a lot of people that should be curious enough about it and all of the things we're doing for Chess.com/TV and this site in general. I have big aspirations and visions for this group, so hopefully everything will turn out our way 

  -Mark

  BTW Paul, just call me Sir Mark, I always wanted to be a knight (I love King Arthur history), and since it's chess related too, all the better 

  -Sir Mark

I am already prone to addressing people as "Sir" so it shouldnt be a problem Squire..:)

oops !

  Yeah gee thanks 

  I hope whoever reads this thread sees the link to join this wonderful group! It's a happening place to be right now for recaps, special events, guest hosts, and a lot more.

  Here is the link again just in case
