Chess.com

Chees.com has to be one of the most deceptive game forums on the internet. If you do not pay to be a member the system will invoke a number of deceptive practice to give a slanted advantage to paying members. The "dirty tricks" range from the system mysteriously locking up and allowing the paying members to win a match as a function of time running out as you attempt to get your screen back in order to make your next move...  to very low ranking members having remarkable strokes of genius game after game if you appear to be winning more than you should before they shake you down for a payment. Come on chess.com //// chess has existed for years as a game of skill .... not a way for you to make a fast buck and penalize a retired senior citizen living on a fixed income who is simply looking for a way to pass the time. Shame on you and your staff.
