Justbefair,
examples of ads:
1. I click on Forums/Chess.com Annoyances and a 2nd tab opens for Dating Seniors.
2. Click main screen/Lessons/Openings/London Opening, another active tab for Amazon appears.
3. Open an ongoing game, 2nd active tab Futuristic Comfort recliner ad opens also.
4. OPen Forums, choose a remark, select reply/quote - a 2nd tab for Browse Singles ad appears.
I don't think any of those have anything to do with chess. Once off the main screen, almost every click opens another tab in addition to the clicked selection.
To Chess.com, should they read this: I didn't come here to be bothered with stupid ads that have nothing to do with the game. I haven't seen a single ad for Chess.com announcements or promotions. Get rid of the crap at membership level or get rid of me and return the membership fee for the aggravation you cause.
It’s totally ridiculous. I am not a premium member and I never see those ads popping up
I've only belonged a few months, but have a few irritations about the site.
#1: I was writing a chat to an opponent when a BIG RED message popped up telling me to be careful as I was suspected of cheating or foul language. I followed all the rules and am polite, so I don't have a clue what occurred. Am I cheating to say good game??
#2: I had a game suddenly quit, stating I lost. That was not true. We still had moves to play.
#3: My biggest peeve is all those commercials that have suddenly appeared. I can't click on anything without opening another commercial! If this keeps up, they WILL hear some foul language! I've heard Lichess is commercial-free.
maybe your opponent accused you of cheating for apparently no reason
