Life after cancelling is very dark also nekhemevich.

I have recently spoken to a chess.com employee. He told me that 80% of the members here cheat.

I can't understand why people cheat at this game; is it their desire to win at something overwhelms their reality?  The only person that they really cheat is themselves.  It makes y'wonder what sort of personalities these divvies have.

I'm having a hard time psyching myself up to play/study anymore. I'm very disappointed in myself for not improving. You could say I enjoyed playing chess, but with the huge disappointment hanging over my shoulder I'm starting to think that it was all for naught. I work study, but it doesn't get me anywhere. I ask my bro, and he says I've improved, however my score doesn't reflect. Then I ask myself, are people out there really that good at blitz? And it makes me wonder if I'm even playing a human. It's like I've played and enjoyed chess up to a certain point, and then I have to force myself even to stomach the game anymore. I want to puke...

I've cancelled my Premium membership a couple years ago for the same reason. I still enjoy chess.com's free features, especially the very nice private groups !

Have you considered trying OTB chess ? This is a much livelier and interesting experience than Internet chess, and there are almost no cheaters ! Smile

Bye bye. Don't let the door hit you on the a$$ on your way out!

So just cancel already, what's the point in openly complaining about it?  Do you want us to talk you down off that ledge?  You're like a wrist-cutter who threatens suicide, but doesn't go through with it simply to gain attention from the people around them. Please cancel, your absence weighs no more or less than your presence.

 Would love to. Unfortunately, the area I live in has no chess clubs. I considered making my own club, but there is very little interest here. Chess.com is my only outlet for chess. I'm still playing here. Decided I would take the good with the bad. I'm just a little frustrated is all. I'm too critical I think.

I'll take that into consideration, thank you.

You can play only with friends or in groups.

Stockfish, Komodo and the myriad of other chess engines are missing out a lot of unique ideas.

Nice blog, mate! Bye, see you never!

Right. Has anyone of you ever been a good blitz player, ever. I wonder. :-))
