Thus far the playing population has not grown much if at all. This is a reminder/request to ask others to join our site. Thank you very much.

We are in the process of putting together a formal marketing strategy to promote the website.

As soon as we have improved our tournament structure, will we start driving a proper marketing campaign.

FWIW, I had to put a hold on the comeback email campaign... our hosting company informed me that our domain ran the risk of being blacklisted as a spam domain due to exceeding our email quotas.

 ketchuplover (1254)    24 Aug 2018 17:49:07

Who told you the quota before?

 Yotta (1105)    1 Sep 2018 09:22:16

The tec guys at our hosting company.

To everyone who is asking others to join/visit our site I humbly suggest having them read the forums before doing anything else. I think it'll give the best first impression. Thoughts?

Down to 36 players as of now :( I humbly ask everyone to ask as many people as possible to join our site. TYVM

I wasn't aware of Chess conquest until Ketchup (on another site) asked me to take a look and sign up, so he can be credited (or blamed! for my being here. Follow his example.

I have asked a few players on another site to check this one out. Are there any new arrivals?

 ketchuplover (1254)    16 Jan 2021 23:45:51

Not according to thr rakings

 Yotta (1105)    18 Jan 2021 03:45:17

New players first have to complete one game before they are shown on the rankings.

 ketchuplover (1254)    29 Mar 2021 15:29:21

42 now!

 WoundedKnight (1000)    21 Aug 2023 11:06:48

Any intention of having live games?

 Yotta (1105)    22 Aug 2023 03:37:14

There are 3 things required to boost player population… Swiss tournaments instead of knock out tournaments, a mobile app, and live games… we are hoping to work towards these goals.

A former player on another site said this site was too abusive for him

 YVANE1991 (1117)    20 Jan 2024 14:05:36

I find this site very nice and convenient for everyone participating in it, especially for AND ,,,,, MANY congratulations and thanks for the work he has put into existence ... I am very sorry that the administrator from Ukraine VASIL puzanov is no longer here, but I believe he will appear again one fine day.,,,,,,, and to Ketchup,,, your acquaintance who says these insults is a common pederast and better not come back here....

 jordjy (1158)    20 Jan 2024 14:44:19

I like this site, too.

 tjrm (1394)    2 Feb 2024 19:08:46

I suspect the site lose some prospective players because it seems difficult to get started. In my case I registered a couple weeks ago. I posted (I believe) two open invites (though I am unclear how or where anyone finds these, and I can't find any from other players). I checked tournaments, though all currently listed are either completed or in progress). I checked a couple profiles of other players, and do not see how to challenge them. It may well be that someone can react to me now and get me started; that would be appreciated. The point remains however that getting started seems very difficult.

 tjrm (1394)    2 Feb 2024 19:46:32

Pleased to see new tournaments, and entered.

 sorim (904)    3 Feb 2024 04:26:54

I guess you just have to press the green button above, where it is written +New Game
If you want to join the Tournaments just press the blue button my games. It will show you if you can joint to existing tournaments.

 sorim (904)    3 Feb 2024 04:28:37

And finally if you want to challange a person, just click on his name and then press the green button chellange, like I just did now with your name.

I play chess also at itsyourturn, though that site lacks some of the nice features here. I mention because the waiting room there (analogous to new game+ functionality here) gets one new chess games very rapidly. Seldom a long wait. New game+ here gets very little activity. I believe people will pursue open invites much more readily than challenging strangers. So I recommend more players posting open invites here. Itsyourturn also has an automatch feature. You request matches of a specific duration and color (or random) and other users of automatch that want the same are started in a game with you. I mention these because I believe that they get new members active quickly, and I believe that will encourage more site growth. I'm guessing that chessconquest's attrition rate might be hurt from slow starts.
