Chess.com will never fall apart as long as the Trolls are freely alive. I come here to have fun with Trolls , rather than wasting my time on seeing fake news everywhere.
chess.com is falling apart
just trying out the other site mentioned and it seems fun, playing a bit to see how the ratings will compare. I might like it more though due to being able to premove without a membership. Problem here is that I don't have a membership so blitz games can be annoying when the other payer can premove in a tight endgame with pawns. Doesn't happen often but when it does it sucks. I have considered a membership but I'm a bit poor
All you need to do to have premoves is enable them in your live chess settings: https://www.chess.com/settings/live
Use the mobile browser. I'm on here via phone all the time and do club admin work easily.
Speaking of other sites... I play elsewhere, but after paying for subscription for several years, after failing to renew, it was less than a month before they warned me to disable my adblock or face the boot. I opted for the latter and came here.
Here, I get a polite banner noting that they detect adblock, with a request to consider subscribing. No threats to boot me, no demands to unblock, just a gentle request. I close it and go about my business, it's maybe a week before I get another request.
One day I'll reward them by paying my way. Until then, thanks chess.com for letting me play here totally for free.
I agree [Other site-MOD] doesn't have a forum, and all people do here is complain about trolls. Be grateful for what you have, and if you don't like it, block it! It's as easy as that!

You don't need premium membership, but you do need to turn on premoves in your Live Chess settings.
