Free Diamond Membership!! (ok 2 weeks but still) :)

I used to be a good chess player. When I was 7 and 8 I won state both years. As a matter of fact, I never lost a game in a tournament, despite playing in ~15 tournaments. Then the only chess club in my city dissolved. I quit playing for 8 years. Then my friend told me about chess.com. I came just to try playing a game or two and it was very nice. But the thing that really got me was all the extra features! And I don't just mean tactics trainer, chess mentor, etc... (which are all wonderful features!) but I am referring more to the social aspect of chess.com. I have made awesome friends who have helped me so much. I have joined several groups (which are awesome!) and playing in tournaments is very fun. The forums are very helpful for questions and sometimes I can help others. When I first joined, all my ratings were in the 1100s. Though I am still working on my blitz, my online is in the upper 1700s and bullet is over 1400. I'm no grandmaster, but without chess.com, I would not have these ratings, or worse, might not be playing chess at all, and I wouldn't have all these awesome friends I've made! Thanks chess.com!!

Hey awesome staff dude, if you fulfil your promise earlier, could you give me a crown membership instead of diamond? Thank you SO SO SO MUCH!! :D

I don't understand, what do you have to do to get membership?

PS: Yes, I want membership extention

Tell me something you like about Chess.com!  Have your skills improved or do you just like talking to other chess lovers :)

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!!!!

It s great simply the best chess websit e I ve visited. There s too many. .....To name a few:

Personally love that you can connect via Facebook. Please tell me can you have a membership via Facebook?

Nnext you can play chess players worldwide.

Next tools on opening s & strategies & the list is endless & even better UNLIMIT3D access for member.

Great staff support as you can see unlike other sites. Not to mention great community as well.

That is why you should join chess.com. I love the iPhone app.

I like the groups and teams aspect of chess.com.  It allows me to play with people who I have something in common with, sometimes in a chess sense, sometimes not.  Playing in a team match, even with people I don't know, is a lot more meaningful then playing in a random game.  I can play for my country, my favorite sports team, or even my favorite opening.  I have no doubt that chess.com is the best site for chess

I am an old schooler of the online generation and have previously played on all the big name chess servers of today (and yesterday).  chess.com is truly unique in it's web based environment and its ease of access to a massive online forum community that allows you to discuss anything chess related with not only a dedicated international group of chess enthusiasts, but also some of the worlds top masters today.  

chess.com is growing leaps and bounds above its competition in popularity which is resulting in them creating the best innovations of any online community.  It is clear that they are the #1 choice among online chess players and for very good reason.  This means that its only going to continue to pull ahead of its competition.

How do you go about it ChessOfPlayer? And do you get the stats too?

Chess.com has amazing features packed in one site. It is easy to understand for beginners and if you follow the training program, you will (no doubt) get extremely talented because the program is well put together. 

Chess.com Breeds GM's.

COP, it's not about worth, don't know whether diamond membership is worthy, but I firmly believe that it is not a good idea to get flattering remarks from members in lieu of something free. If the member likes the service, he /she will say it without any reward, just pure gratefulness,I will not say anything flattering for any reward or not even at gunpoint.. (the later part is just a figure of speech, don't take it too literally) :))

Thanks for offering the 2 weeks.

I love playing on chess.com mainly because of the environment. It's a great site for casual players and tournament players alike. The chess mentor is extremely deep and varied. Also I enjoy Dannys 3 min blitz videos, they are awesome. The customization is also very nice and gives players the ability to have myspace-style layouts if they so choose, which is cool. 

My favorite part of chess.com is the way the Tactics and Chess Mentor work. I also really enjoy being able to have groups, and is a blast to meet new people and play chess, which is one of my favorite board games.  When I get my 2 weeks of Premium, I am going to as many Chess Mentor as I want, and multiple 1:0 Chess Tournaments every day.  

When I first became interested in chess a few years ago, chess.com had 7 million members. I looked up chess on google and what came up first? Chess.com. Now, a few years later, chess.com has over 13.5 million members. When I joined the website, I on,y knew how to move the pieces, and after a month of play my rating was 800. But by using tails trainer, chess mentor, live chess and the forums, I was able to improve quickly, and chess is now my favorite hobby. Chess.com's interface is incredible, and the fact that they are able to offer events like titled Tuesday, USCF rated tournaments, chess.com rated tournaments, death matches proves that it is he best chess website by far. Thanks chess.com for all of your help, and I plan on being an active member for a long time!

Chess.com is the best site on the web!  I really like that I get unlimited access to videos and that i get unlitmed puzzles every day!  And it has really made an improvement to my chess!

I love the Help and Support on Chess.com. On time, I was playing a game and my opponent stalled rather rudely (I was about to win but the servers were about to shut-down). Due to my opponent stalling, the game was aborted and though I was clearly going to win, the game was completely lost.

But chess.com, having one of the best support staffs ever, gave me a free trial of premium diamond membership for my troubles from this particular game (can't remember if it was for one week or for two weeks).

Some complain that they are delayed sometimes but they always respond quite timely and that's all that matters in the end.

Since I started using chess.com my skill improved alot(I used to make a bunch of blunders). I like chess.com because it is such a complete program. Do you want to make puzzles? CHECK. Do you want to practice end game situations or find the opening that suits best for you? You got all here.

And the best part is that you get unlimited access to all the features for a few pennies/day.

I think this is the most full featured chess site that exists today. They've managed to build an enormous community--which is great, I can find a blitz game any hour of the day or night. And the content quality is top notch. I've had some positive interactions with the staff, and I feel like they take user feedback to help improve their product. I personally love the stats page. I check it every day to see if I've managed to move the win percentages up.

i love this site because i improve my tatical skills and have meet nice people too :)

i like this site because i learn more about chess here,i improve my skills like a beginner player to become one day in a great player

Hey everyone!  Wow overwhelming response, and so wonderful!!  I can't wait to read every one!  The free memberships will be added later today!!  

Thank you very much!  I can't wait to use it!

Your not supposed to say that Carl

:D
