Is diamond worth it?

I’m a 200-300 elo player and really want to get better and don’t have diamond but could afford it. Is it worth it?

Could you have won the game you just drew? If you think you would take the time to review your games and find improvements, it can be very helpful.
For example, the Game Review suggests that taking the knight with your rook was not the best move.
Can you see a better one?

I don't know about diamond. I have platinum and think it's worth it. The other features locked behind diamond I can get for free on other chess websites. But the same could be said about many of what I get with platinum. I think it's really more about what you can afford and what it's worth to you.
It is

I have it and I would say it depends. Lichess has free puzzles. There is kind of a difference between chess.com puzzles and lichess ones, and I like having access to an unlimited amount of both. I prefer analyzing my games without the game review. It's fun to see how many great/best/brilliants you had in a game, but it's better to analyze just using the stockfish engine lines instead of game review.
There are free courses that come with getting premium, and some of them are pretty decent, but I wouldn't recommend most of the ones I've seen to beginners.

But hey, if you really like chess and want to turn it into a serious hobby then I think it's not a bad investment.

I genuinely think it’s just a typical way apps make use of the users…
Diamond's worth it!

If you can afford subscription - do it. It’s good value for your money. You can buy it for 1 month - try it.
If you plan to improve in chess - you will get a lot of options.

25. Nxe7+ was better, as 25. Rxe7 runs into 25. Rxc2+, followed by 26. Rxc3

Probably not since you can get free puzzles and lessons on lichess. Only thing its good for is the game review and it is easily bypassed

Is the diamond plan on sales sometimes? Glad to read it's worth it but I still find the price quite high...
