chess.com lied to us. They made a post where we voted for best this, best that, and that there will be 10 premium memberships for us voters... I haven't seen a single post where the winners are mentioned. And you say you care about us, chess community?

The winners were chosen and contacted. The site doesn't publish a list

So, how do we know the giveaway was real? huh? As usual, transparency ain't chess.com specialty, right?

It's not that big of a deal 😭😭😭

Wits-end

I guess it’s safe to say that I know at last two players that didn’t win.

There's zero reason for staff not to award the members.

There's zero reason for me to believe your greedy ones are willing to do that, hence I need proof.

what if the players want to remain unanimous i bet alot do. announcing the winners to the entire community could get them harassment from trolls like viroh if they are unlucky

It seems unlikely someone would get harrased for winning.

You don't have to believe it but that also doesn't make it untrue. Unless someone that was chosen posts about it, then the only proof there will be is the notification in the article. surprise
