Is it worth it to pay for chess.com?

I can totally say that paying for a chess.com is so worth and I even asking my parents for money to pay for that subcription

depends how into chess you are

If you have a trusted friend group, you could get the family subscription (200€) and split the money

No.

Yes, it's worth the money, if you have the resources to pay.

I don't pay because I can not afford.

No, it's ridiculous to pay when you can play for free.

I was a longtime Diamond subscriber but I refused to renew last cycle for two reasons:

1) inability to filter out new accounts in matchmaking (most are sandbaggers, cheaters and all-around dishonorable people). I abort a game against an account created yesterday with a 2100 rating. Sometimes I’m matched three in a row and it disables my Abort button and revokes my tournament access.

2) there is rampant cheating in tournaments where people with 700 ratings consistently beat a tournament pool of 400 people, some with 2300 ratings. This should NEVER EVER HAPPEN, especially in bullet. My inbox is FILLED with messages like “your opponent was determined to be a POS, here’s your points back”. Noble feature, no doubt, but why let them just open a new account and do it again and again? There’s got to be a way to stop this. Filtering new accounts is the most obvious and reasonable approach.

Until it’s done, I’m not resubscribing.

I’m done with this platform. There’s no better alternative interface-wise though. Really sucks.

Yes, it is worth it.

Idk I haven't spent a single cent yet

Mine is a gifted membership

if you play chess so often and take chess seriously its worth it but if you just want to look like a GM dont.

Hey, there's a helpful tool for game Analysis, It's WintrChess (https://wintrchess.com/analysis

You can check it out, it's free and you can have it instead of buying premium for game Analysis, Just know I'm not the creator of it, I just find it useful.

Just_an_average_player136, you got gifted a diamond membership? That's excellent! Happy chess,

From my point of view no, i paid a diamond one but you have no support except a bot that obviously cannot answer your questions

Puzzles are best, I do it for warm-up

I mean if you want it, go for it

I feel like if you are determined to get better that a diamond membership might be worth it.

I don't see any connection between wanting to get better and a diamond membership.

Like anything it depends how committed you are to learning. There's A LOT of stuff on here that is supposed to help you learn and play better, but it's whether you will use them to their full potential - and only you know that.
I've just done a one month Diamond to see how much I am likely to use the bits that aren't available at a lower subscription/free, so I will see over the next few weeks. I am glad I've got the chance to do one month, because so many times I've paid for an annual subscription to something then stopped using it after two or three months, or not using it to the extent the subscription was worth it.

Hey, thanks for sharing your thoughts on chess.com! I've been wondering the same thing. It's cool you use both chess.com and lichess, plus OTB. I appreciate your perspective as someone who hasn't paid for chess.com. It's a useful point of view!
