Hey diamond members!-What did you do to get better.

I'm a diamond member and I want to see if I should cancel my purchase. I think that the membership is worth it, how did it help you guys?

I only had a platinum, but the tactics trainer helped me a lot. Unless you're planning on doing +25 tactics a day though, I would stick with a gold membership.

It's a multi-faceted issue.

I pay for the lessons and videos. I've found the lessons especially helpful. They're a good supplement even if you're already reading books etc.

 

The other stuff I don't care about. The tactics trainer is inferior to the <multiple competitors who shall not be named> and paying for deeper Stockfish is outright stupid.

when i purchased diamond i figured i could have an "online chess hub" where i could have access to everything- even if i wasnt quite sure how to maximize it

and, yesterday, i was reminded why it was a good investment; i was kind of stumbling through "lessons" without much of a plan but i found a module of 100 endgame lessons and plowed through a ton last night- this being exactly what i needed at exactly this moment

I got a diamond membership because to cost was not a lot for a whole year and I wanted to do the videos.  In the future, gold may be good enough for me since 25 tactics and 5 lessons are fine for me.

Which are forever... so it seems like a good deal.
