I mean fall back down again
for me it would
monicasmu
I would pay more money than I have to get my rating up there but I just hope it doesn't just fall back down. I choose +1000. :)
MalthusCt
For some reason, I read the question in the metaphorical sense - as in, the Wizard of Chess is the greatest teacher and the money spent is his rates. So at that rate, hell yes I would pay. But if magic is magic, then I agree with all those who protest the idea of waving a wand and being a chess god. That just sounds like cheating.

For everyone who gets a magical chess skills upgrade they must afterwards do the following to the wizard:
and then
Any body tells him he is will be shot.
BaronRobie
Once I save enough silver, I will definitely give this chess wizard a call.
heyitsluke
oh i see now. this was a product survey. no, chess.com will be lucky if i ever pay for any membership. but yes i would pay over a grand to get to 2400 and recoup my losses through gambling with suckers.
jjani
i would offer over 9000!
Katipo
I'd pay more than $1000 as long as it required no large time commitment, ill health etc. Of course, this assumes that it corresponds to increased skill level too.
Then, I could easily recoup that money in tournaments. Plus, I'd enjoy being that much better.

Hah! Good poll. Love what the results ended out being.

Are you kidding me?
I will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever buy this
safhjganhbweibhwoi hwtehethehtethwryj trjh wjrwtj wtj tej etjhte tj wetjwt
I'm right now at an lower level and also I have only 50 dollars in my bank account so I pretty much not in the mood to buy it.
It's also a lot expensive
Deranged
I'm currently about 1700, so to get to 2400 would cost me $1400.
I would definitely pay that!
pauix
No, thanks, I'd prefer the Wizard to give me some books and a Premium Membership on chess.com.
Rogalentis
It's over 9 thousand!!
If it is legal then why not spend money? My FIDE rating is 2057 so I would need to spend $686 to get an IM title.
tidgo
Myself i would like to spend over 9000

If you suck at chess then you suck at chess----you will lost your magic rating increase the moment you start playing upper level players.
