Chesscom staff and volunteers also receive free diamond membership for life.

Outstanding community members, in the forms mostly, can be nominated for 1 month of free diamond membership.

Good luck ❤️ 

Time for a little shameless self-promotion.

I don't see the reason behind why they lock a lot of things behind memberships other than money. I am not saying that they should not try to earn money from this website but it feels kind of weird to me that Chess.com says people that uses game review frequently can improve their games 2.7 times faster but also says that you are only able to use game review by getting a platinum or better membership which grants you unlimited game reviews. I know you can get a 7-day free trial for any membership you want but if you don't have any money after that, you're back to being restricted to 1 game review per day and access to only a limited amount of bots you can face against. It feels to me-even if it does not feel to you, that you need to cough up your money to have a smoother way to achieving mastery in chess through chess.com. The point that I am trying to make is that you are restricted through multiple ways if you don't have a membership.

It costs money to run servers, pay for bandwidth, pay employees that create the features and content, to host events, etc

And sometimes, just ads can't cover all of that.

My understanding is that ad revenue helps but isn't close to covering costs

My parents won't let me get a paid membership, and i was wondering if there was any way to get a free membership. I really want to get chess mentor and stuff so I could do better in tournaments. My lessons are free and aren't high quality, since it's in a class.

I once somehow find a chess.com mistake that the developers don't notice, they give me a membership. I also heard a user called veryverystern get a free membership, probably because of getting muted just because of debates

If you get a title - NM or above - then you get free diamond membership for life. That might not help you much right now, but it's a nice goal to work towards.

can you give me a gift diamond membership pls.
