how can i get a premium membership free...???(without paying money)                             can somebody help me to my question please?????

Um,  don't believe that many people are offering to pay for a gold membership randomly. There are some tournaments that offer them as a prize, but you need to win those to get it. Sorry.

you could join this tournement here you  can win one: http://www.chess.com/tournament/win-gold-membership-on-chesscom

You need a sponsor, or pay the fee yourself... You only have to pay about US$30.- per Year. Ask Erik.

Regards, Best Wishes, Paul

To register for that tournament your rating can not be higher than 1500

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE COMMENTS THAT YOU PEOPLE HAVE SUBMITTED...................................

Iam in a tourny right now and hope to win a free membership , it's great of this guy to offer this . If I don't win I will pay for a membership because this site is really worth a investment of  about $ 30 a year . I have been putting this of  for a long time but since you get a free T shirt , what do I have to loose ?

chess.com has been known to steal your soul... look around you

there is no such thing as free, unless someone will give you

i guess so

free? yeah, your best option is to try and win a tournament with a membership prize; this is one example but you are asked to join the group aswell as the tournament and you will have to beat some excellent opponents to win the membership

People may give them to you as a gift sometimes.

ADK

Its very rare for people to offer them as gifts or tournament prizes anymore, given that free membership hand-outs are no longer given to Platinum/Diamond members.

It's a big prize dear Madonline!

You must deserve, you can try at next new year holiday puzzle:

Kidnapp Erik and demand free membership as ransom.
