No, it's because chess.com got greedy, decided to become the online chess monopoly but they don't have the infrastructure to support the growth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Meanwhile, we get constant news updates and articles indicating that chess.com is the greatest thing since sliced bread! Oh yeah? How about asking your paying customers!?!?

bro shut up its because chess got popular bc of gothamchess, just actually learn how to use other websites and stop thinking that chess.com is the only thing that exists, there are many other ways to enjoy chess, including playing against someone in real life and touching grass for once (ik crazy), they are trying to build the infrastructure and it has come so suddenly that its not possible for them to do this, if you were put in this situation, think for a second, what would you do?

The other website can host 24 hour long arenas with 20k+ people and doesn't crash. It's free to play and the servers rely entirely on donations, so why does an arena with 4k people crash chess.com?

its because they have more quality graphics, that much graphics really taxes sites
and because there's less people normally online on the other sites
Are the servers down?

...then why did the arena crash chess.com? The other website relies entirely on user donations for server costs. The largest chess website shouldn't be having these problems.

This is pretty ridiculous. Signed up for a tournament, in the middle of second game chess.com just stops responding. Opponents clock runs out and I get credit for a "win." I assume these fake wins will be corrected after the fact?
I'm tired of paying my diamond membership for a website that is not functioning properly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just lost a game on time due to server disconnect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
