Perhaps Chesspark could have done more to notify their subscribers that they would be transferred soon. Quite a bit of complaining from Chesspark customers in the forums at Chess.com today.

I remember when Chesspark spun off. Interesting idea... especially since it came from neighbors here in Florida. 8-) I also remember the deal with RZA and his wuchess.com website. I haven't visited the site in awhile, but I wonder if it will continue given that chesspark was providing the services. Any insight on that? Brian,

It was a fun run, and we do still own all the technology. :-) Wouldn’t say liquidated. ;-) The core technology behind Chesspark lives on behind (and transferred to) the ultra-hot Real-time search engine Collecta which we spun out of Chesspark, and that the Chesspark founding team is now focusing all attention on Collecta is the primary reason for merging Chesspark into Chess.com, and not continuing it as a free standing site.
