My skills have improved, the site has intresting stuff like death matches and the new 'grandmaster blitz battles'. This site just gets better and better!
Oh, and to members who might be reading this thread, go to V3! It's down at the bottom of the page where it says 'try the new chess.com!'. It is AWESOME!!!!
I think Chess Mentor and the Tactics trainer are really good. The teaching videos on tactics in the video section are very informative. Many of the other chess videos I have watched on tactics are aimed at higher ranked players. I find the beginner videos here at Chess.com to be really easy to understand.
I love chess.com because I meet nice people all around the world. Sometimes we play, sometimes, we play and chat, sometimes we play, chat and become friends... Meantime I learn a lot about chess and improve my chess.habilities. Woaw!
When I was first introduced to chess.com by a friend I met at a chess tourney, I was amazed at the in-depth of it. I immedietly started into some awesome correspondance games, a thing I had never experienced before.
I quickly introduced some of my own pals to it, and soon we were playing on the site like mad! After about 4 months, I got into groups. I made some really good friends in the Christian Homeschool Team, a group of which I am now admin. I then became admin of several more groups, meeting even more people. I now spend nearly 2 hours a day on chess.com enjoying the action-packed tournament and great interaction with other players, if not for chess.com I doubt I would have:
1. Met and made so many new friends
2. With a gold membership a friend gave to me, I really used it to the advantage and learned SO MUCH in chess mentor, which the definetly the best teaching tool out there.
3.Get a medal. I really like the way that even free members are allowed to compete in tourneys. In real life I've never got a medal so I was dancing around the room so delightedly when I got my first lightning medal!
4. Played lighting chess.com Never even heard of time control before I came to chess.com!
5. Just HAD FUN!
Oh, I forgot to add that the staff here are AWESOME!
When my account was closed for 'spamming' all I had to do was send them an email and they quickly corrected their mistake.
Just in case you're reading this, and feeling so great that the members finally appreciate all the hard work you do, I'm going to ask for an extra two + two weeks of FREE diamond membership. Pretty please?
The Chess.com staff have been brilliant in removing cheats, fixing technical issues and dealing with general enquiries. The tournaments are awesome too.
Four and a half years ago I found chess.com by accident. Quickly introduced it to my schoolmates and in a few months, we became the strongest players in our high school.
Why?
We learnt you can use forums efficiently (besides playing chess of course) - a little bit of trolling and a lot of constructive browsing can boost your chess knowledge quite a lot. You can share ideas and get responses, from regular players and masters. And therefore making friends. That's why I like this site!
P.s: I'm also the best member on Chess.com, so...
Very well said, MSC, a little bit of constructive browsing and a lot of trolling, that part of your experience deserve a 12 week premium! ;)
We are chess players! Nothing makes me prouder and more honoured than to be a part of a site where we respect and nurture the game and skill within all the varied people of the world!
Nothing compares to the thrill of reaching a new height of ability within this sport -- the trials and struggles that it takes to achieve is a testament to the incredible strength and resilience within all humankind!
Chess is life! Life is chess!
Thank you Chess.com for creating a WORLD where we can build, grow, together!
*******I'll get your 2 weeks added after your Gold expires - Blackenne :)
It sucks to go from Diamond membership to this spectacular app that is made for learning more than advertising to a regular membership. 1 year got over! Even 2 weeks free will make me feel ecstatic!
I learned how to play chess here but admitedly haven't improved much. I like the science threads in the discussion groups.
This won't do, VG, you gotta be a little bit more articulate about it... Just see the next one, that's the way to go... :D
2 weeks free Diamond Membership to anyone who would like to leave a nice testimonial or anyone who copies in a social share of Chess.com! For anyone who already has a membership, I can add a couple free weeks to it :)
Have fun with it!!
