Hello guys, this is one big update for the group and for the channel and it can go two ways. As you all know Top Chess got sold to a new owner a couple of months ago, and he made a bunch of mistakes and I think all of you are aware of how much I tried to fix everything. Today the new owner declared that he doesn't have the money to keep going and didn't pay out salaries to TopChess video editors and to me, so we are all in a tough situation right now. With this he also disconnected all of payments an owner has to do so this is why the skool community became archived for a bit. I paid to skool now out of my own pocket to re-activate the group for 1 month. So right now I'm the owner of Top Chess Community but we still don't have Top Chess Education and most importantly the channel itself. If he decides that he doesn't want to give us the channel unfortunately this will be the end of Top Chess. On the other hand if he gives us the channel we (Myself and video editors) will be able to work for ourselves thus putting it more time and effort than ever and it might be a blooming for Top Chess. So the only thing you guys can do right now is maybe comment on his post to explain to him that we all want to see topchess stay alive and to give it to us (The people who do all the work) to keep it running for the community. Thanks all and love you all, I will try my best to keep this alive <3
