It's a curious thing: premium members are allowed extra tournaments, extra videos, extra analyses ... but NOT extra friends. What's that all about?

Hmmm-- well, we do get the swanky elites-only forum.  Maybe that's intended to make up for the lack of actual additional friends.  It's like fancy rich clubs where members aren't expected to be friends with any other members, but rather to just enjoy the fact that other people aren't allowed to be there.

i think basic people should be allowed more options like at least get to be SA !

Chess.com is about chess and real life is about friends.

Avatar of The_Chess_Ninja

But you can meet new friends in chess.com while playing chess !

I agree with janterabianglala. Chess is about friends and chess !

For "a few cents a day" the chess.com staff will be your friends.

Chess is about being extremely concentrated on something, friends are just a distraction!!!Cool

OK! I'm kidding! I think chess is about friends, otherwise I would spend my time solving math problems...chess is definitely about friends.

So will your average hooker.  No, wait, that's more like a few dollars a minute.
