What is this new tab I am seeing at https://chess.com/verified? Is this a new feature or have I been blind this whole time?

When is the broadcast? Will it be done via ChessTV here on chess.com? What if we miss the broadcast? (i.e., being at work, etc.)

Do titled players need to go through this verification as well? We were already verified to get the title added to our profile

I just cancelled my gold membership renewal because I consider it unresaonable to charge contributor members an additional fee to be verified. Free accounts, no problem, charge away, but I think it should be included in the fee paid by contributor members.

can you opt out of 'verify' & skip the fee?

i'll cancel my diamond membership if not an option.

If you don't verify you don't pay a fee. You have to opt-in to get verified.

Titled players have to go through the same process. It's two parts. One is verification and the other is access to the verified events.

Another money harvest.

Will this new "account-verification" become compulsory??

What is the benefit of op-in besides spending more money?

do you really think this side (where you are in and play (sometimes) would exist if nobody would make money out of it? Do you think the supermarket where you buy your daily food would exist if nobody would make money out of it?

Whomever thinks there is a "validation process" further than scanning your visa card is sorely misunderstanding the "state" of this fast sinking ship.  What a g d scam; cheat team's already worthless.

No, if you have no interest in it, you don't have to do it.
