This news site, founded and operated by Dutch chess journalist Peter Doggers, continued to cover chess tournaments in a digital setting. In October 2013, acquired the Amsterdam-based chess news site as well. Two years later, acquired a similar chess social networking site,. The site was then relaunched in 2007 with heavy campaigning and promotion on social media.
Then, in 2005, Internet entrepreneur Erik Allebest and partner Jarom ("Jay") Severson, who met as undergraduate students at Brigham Young University, bought the domain name and assembled a team of software developers, redeveloping the site as a chess portal. The domain was originally set up in 1995 by Aficionado, a company based in Berkeley, California, to sell a piece of chess tutoring software called "Chess Mentor".
