1. It takes 1 full minute to get a pairing each time

2. I have to read this idiotic message each time the game ends. It was not a nice opening. He hung a piece and I missed it because I was premoving and then I got mated in like 20 moves because of another premove mistake

3. I advertises me rope while I'm on a 4am tilt session 💀

Short answer, yes. Long answer, you don't give them their money, they don't care about you. Lichess is a charity, so they have to care about you. (Don't worry c.c I didn't say he should switch to lichess. I just stated the facts, he can do with them what he wants.)

Even I experience the same thing. When I lose a game and I am angry at myself for losing it the coach starts saying dumb things to probably “motivate” me or something. He says something like this: “Tough loss, but let's work on it together”

Only problems I have is the moves has not worked for six months since I paid.

The blocking feature doesn't work either.

Also when the promise pf several days the will contact me they never do . . .

He prefers lichess already

Yeah, which goes to show how obsessed I am with chess if I still have 8000 games on chess.com despite being on lichess way more 💀

Use Brave Browser; it wouldn’t happen. It blocks all these ads

1. It's because you're rated too high, and it takes time to get someone of your level.

2. You could switch this off.

3. Buy premium to have no ads.

Sleep gambit. Sometimes you have to sac your sleep for bullet rating

I forget the coach message exists tbh. If you want no ads without diamond maybe try an adblocker

Avatar of AveryHyena

You've been on chess.com for almost two years and gained a lot of rating, and you still don't know that 95% of what the coach says is BS and should just be ignored? I learnt that in my first couple of weeks.

In my experience, this is actually the other way around! Sacrificing rating for not sleeping.
There's a reason why my bio is "Playing 6pm-10am = guaranteed losing streak".

("What do you mean in your experience, you've only played against bots and unrated against a friend?" - This isn't a chess specific thing, it also happens in competitive games and speedcubing)

It's worse when you're on classic puzzles because he randomly picks a number and says that's your streak

Avatar of Flynn347

The coach when you get dirty flagged while premoving the ladder checkmate: you built up a winning advantage! Let’s work on converting the position

Avatar of Abirdwithinternetyt

Bro it's clearly the bald uncs down voting all your posts trolling you.

I expected a troll post from the title... but there's some points here grin.png

1) Yeah, that gets worse at the higher ratings. It's your reward for getting "too good."

2) Okay, that's a real concern. I don't like the Coach comments. I mock them too. Obvious stuff like "you hung a piece" when you misclicked.

3) Okay, ads are based on your search history, so Idk what to say.
