Heh, yeah, what he said.
Declaration of Chess Independence.l
Sort:
The last part of yer screen name is check.......write em one.
It costs money.
Yeah, it costs loot. But even the free stuff (which is what I was exposed to in the beginning) is cool. But with the paid membership you get a lot more cool stuff. Thousands of very good videos, unlimited tactics, chess mentor (which is very good),etc. You don't have to get the most expensive. Even the free version like you got is good.
They should pay me for pitching their website. You reading this Erik?

They have forbidden us from more than three tournaments a week, which is a small number that has need of being raised.
They have restricted us from playing more than a game at once, even though standard games may take forever.
They have restricted from forming groups.
They have restricted us from chesstv.
They have limited the tactics trainer unto us.
They have limited chess mentor.
They have limited computer workouts.
They have tyrannically seized memberships.
They have banned us from forming tournaments.

Youve got to be kidding.
Next time you copy something from wikipedia get rid of the links.
Nah, he ain't kiddin'.
Honestly, this is a very crude parody. But considering that this is your first thread on chess.com, and the fact that you;ve only made 4 posts on the forums so far, it's not a bad start.
Wow just wow
What a waste of time
What the hell oh my god this is hilarious.
This probably ain't his first thread. Maybe a different account. He wouldn't be new AND comment about "The history of the present management....." Think about it.
Oh and watch out for these guys.

Personally, I think Chess.com offers quite a lot to their non-paying members. You can play for free. If you have an I-pad or smart phone you can play on those for free. Many sites won't let you play at all without paying a fee. you get limited access to Tactics trainer.You get access to the forums. If you don't enjoy the many aspects of free membership here, you can always pony up the fee to become a premium member or go elsewhere in hopes of finding the "free" chess Nirvana you seek.....
