why would they let only titled players have accounts? There must be some reason why they are trying to do it. But i consider it to be elitism. Is it elitism??

sapphireglacier

and they get a free diamond membership, right??

Twickenham2014

yes

but why would chesscom do that?

The membership Is so they stay and then others will come because there are titled players. They are allowed to have 2 accounts because then they cant be easily studied by future opponents

He said you wouldn't be like this if you were titled to what YOU said and you said exactly after that. Also this is the second time I have seen you incorrectly call something elitist.

I agree, if they're taking money from people who are paying for a membership. and giving Titled players a free account. THATS CALLED PAYING TAXES TO YOUR LEIGE LORD, go ahead, make it not elitist. 

if you wanted membership... you pay for it. It's completely different than paying taxes to a feudal lord. they give some extra privileges to titled players because they're good, but at the same time... they're not taking away privileges from lesser rated players.

and they still complain.

This "elitism" thing is getting out of hand.

yeah, it is. They want to attract top players, so they give some incentive. chesscom is a business, so you can't really call "capitalism" something akin to "elitism".

And this is the reason why chess.com should turn off auto renewal on their free trial, angers some peeps to the point of utter frustration.

didn't know that they had an auto-renewal... that must be pretty interesting. Probably should tell people "hey we have auto renewal"... or did they already do that? idk, I didn't pay for my membership anyways, since someone else paid it for me.
