Why Does Chess.com Still Reign Supreme?

Serious question—why do you think chess.com still dominates while so many other strategy games come and go? I figured the hype would dip eventually but it hasn’t.

Good point. I think it's the combo of competitive gameplay and casual tools like puzzles or lessons. I bounce between that and checking sites like https://stake.in/ for esports odds—both scratch that “strategic thinking” itch in different ways

yeah plus chess doesn’t rely on flashy graphics its kind of timeless people can be 12 or 60 and still get hooked. also doesn’t hurt that streamers keep making it feel cool again

I started during lockdown and never really stopped. The speed games and tournaments keep it fresh. And it’s way less chaotic than most games out now 😂

I kinda do the same. Just following scores on slow nights, and sometimes placing random bets for fun. I like how low-effort it feels
