@ecksmc Pull the other one. Seriously?
@b4cks4w 😂😂 the ties were a joke figurines was true 😂
thought that woulda been obvious 😜
@ecksmc Seems anything is possible these days -- you got me
@ecksmc Huh, is Duolingo involved? They're offering chess.com accounts
@b4cks4w involved in the breach?
as far as i know it was just chess dot com site that was scrapped
Duolingo have partnered up with chess.com >> Play new bots in 12 different languages, gain access to exclusive offers, and more.
@ecksmc Involved like share owners/systems. I don't know but the offers could be one service drumming up business for another.
@b4cks4w still separate services
think it's like you say just partnered up to help each other get new users/customers
It's believed hackers intend to use the records to target chess.com users with advertising for novelty chess themed neck-ties & Kasparov vinyl pop figurines leading into the holiday season.
