I know I'm not the first player to write a rant like this, so stick with me when I describe exactly why I HATE this website so much!

- First of all, the players. The high-rated ones are so damn hard to beat - no matter how hard I try, I just can't seem to win - once in a blue moon I'll get an advantage, even with some of the top players, but then I somehow manage to throw it away! It frustrates the living crap out of me! I absolutely despise it!!! And that's just one reason that chess.com infuses tons of anger in me!

- Building on my first point, I don't improve that quickly with chess.com! In the past year or so that I've played here, I've only managed to improve my overall strength by an equivalent of a couple of hundred points at least! Not by 1900 points like I expected! Chess.com definitely let me down with its Tactics Trainer and other things that it offers - for free to everybody!!! [Try them out - they work wonderfully!]

- Next, I absolutely despise the forums. I mean seriously, the garbage that appears on them! WIth people arguing and making idiotic forums that I can't understand either because they're not written in formal English or are written by English majors that use impossibly sophisticated language!!! I mean, you try to read "teh1!!!" or "sinuous electroencephalographs" - you'll go insane! This frustrates me insanely! Even to an insane extent!

- And the chess posts - oh, those frustrate me the most about the forums - I just can't stand any chess post on this site. Chess posts should definitely not be on Chess.com! You have players either posting horrible, nonsensical games that makes you question whether chess is played by humans and not by walls, while other games makes you feel like you're a wall playing chess! And I usually don't think of myself as a wall! Supposedly I'm smarter than a wall! But no - once again, these "genius" jerks make me feel stupid. And they have to put it in forum threads, don't they? I can't escaspe their wrath even in the forums, which I try to use to calm myself a little bit after a stressful day.

- Next, Live Chess - oh, don't even get me started on that! I use Firefox and Internet Explorer for these games, and it works for me. It's horrible that it would work fine for me and that I would win games while some few others lose to me on time! That makes me feel like a cheater and thus inferior!!! In addition, I once again find myself facing players that either lose horribly to me or that beat me like I'm a worthless pile of junk. And that angers me! After the game, I see mistakes that almost seem obvious - which makes me loathe Live Chess to an unimaginable extent. I HATE Live Chess. It makes me feel like a fool. I suggest we get rid of this part of Chess.com, for if I am not happy, then why should anyone else be happy?

Indeed, here are some suggestions of mine:

1) I suggest we not only get rid of Live Chess, but also of those correspondence games which I constantly lose - so I don't consistently feel inferior. Also, get rid of the forums, which often make me feel inferior as well. And those Tactics Trainer and other things - get rid of them too. They don't help me become a GM like I intended. It is all pure B.S.

2) I suggest that we also BAN Erik, the owner of Chess.com, for making Chess.com so horrible. I mean, he does nothing to improve MY experience on this website (for reference, see this link: http://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/eric-should-be-banned). He is absolutely inconsiderate of ME and therefore utterly selfish. For his inability to make ME a satisfied, non-paying "customer", we must get rid of him. After all, this thread is all about ME, and I am not happy.

Chess.com is obviously a horrible website that makes me very, very ANGRY, and therefore should be fixed up by somebody more capable than the selfish Erik. [I don't think there is anybody more capable ;D]

Thank you for your attention. Please leave comments on how you also HATE this "website".

I HATE this website as much as you do too! : D

ADK

I totally agree....

it's all shocking... 

miserable site....

how can anyone enjoy this site...

which is why you will rarely see me online here...

I couldn't agree more, and don't even get me started on my so-called "friends"...

I was going to post something to contredict but I figured out it was a joke thread, but I do agree, Eric should be banned! :)

Ugh.  The blogs are a pain in the butt as well...

I like that, the feeling of being a wall playing chess.  Must be similar to feeling like a doormat playing chess - I definitely know how that feels!

!?

You're all nuts.

Good!

Join Chess Nuts!

Or if you're "out there" like me, join the Borg Collective :p

I'll go against the grain and I'll say CHESS.COM RULES!!  :D

I really hate the damn articles. You know, I was browsing the articles Sunday night, and I noticed that they just let anyone post an article. I mean, look at this! That's evidence - they let random idiots who know nothing about chess just submit an article! Dispicable!! Chess.com does suck!!! DELETE CHESS.COM!!!!!!!!

chess.com rocks

Strong players can be found on almost any site - weird reason for hating specifically on Chess.com! 

nothing like side splitting laughter....

I hate it so much I forked out $160 AUD to spend another year here...

HA! HA!

Great Parody.

i agree, this site doesn't help sh*t, it's a very aggravating site

You know how fast you can figure stuff out on red bull?

You should stop using AUD's and pay in livestock like I do.  It works out to be much less in the long run, and Erik really likes chickens.

Erik really likes his name to be spelled correctly too.. 

stfu

its a good site
