I recently joined Chess.Com about a month ago.  Doing puzzle battles and puzzle rush's are fun. But without any membership I can only do 3 puzzles a day! That is crazy! On Lichess, which is free. I can do as many puzzles I want a lots of chess games. I can only do 1 puzzle battle A DAY. thats insane! Why does chess.com need to have Memberships???

Premium memberships are how the site decided to use to fund paying for staff, content, hosting, and sponsoring events.

But what about puzzles?

Can't they at least make puzzles free?

Could they? Potentially, but premium memberships have incentives and having unlimited puzzles would certainly deter some members from getting premium.

You joined about 40 days ago. That would be 120 free puzzles, and you've only done 38, less than one per day.

What do you mean “ABOUT” 40 days ago? He joined 38 days ago, which means in an average, he solved one puzzle per day. Please stop announcing those inaccurate calculations
