I have nothing to complain about because I'm not a subscriber! I'm expressing my opinion on what I think about the rip-off prices they request, nothing more nothing less and who are you to get on your high horse about forum politics? Get a grip, seriously.

Let me introduce you to Mr. Kaynight.
He's usually not this grumpy, though.
He might have had a bad day.

I must agree.
In this day and age, where GMs and NMs are giving lessons for free on YouTube (same level and mostly even better), completely free sites with unlimited puzzles where you don't even need to create an account, and a hundred ways to get books for cents, it really does not worth it.
Top that with the always unstable live chess.

I think too.

I hope so. He comes across as a politician rather than a chess player.

He's a jack of all trades, master of none.

Just enjoy your free play here and stop bumping your gums.

We do, mate, we do.
It's just that I gladly spend two more minutes finding videos or puzzles that are free.

if you take full advantage of the subscription it's well worth it. If you just play chess here then hell no. Up to you. As someone said above, it's worth it just for Rensch's videos.

If they were able to weed out the cheaters it would be worth it.

true, but farming pokemon subscriptions outweighs the weeding.

I've seen all of Rensch's videos.

They are good.

Has he any plans for the more mature minded members?

People that get gifted memberships seem to be saying the most.

(no names mentioned... but I'm sure you all know who I mean ... wot?! u don't?! ... right...name begins with a 'k')

I bought the years membership & was happy with it. I don't have it now but there's a time issue with deciding if it's worth it. I just don't have the time now but I think it's good IF you're gonna use a lot of it & not just hang out on the forums or play a lot of speed chess 'cause that's all free anyway. Chess Mentors good, unlimited tactics, & the videos are the best part in my opinion.

Erik, you should send me a check for the promo.

You deserve a life long free membership

$8 or $9 a month for the subscription is a bargain to me when I consider the trash I have spent that much on in other way more stupid ways. I like to encourage a site that seems to get better and better. Bottom line... works just fine for me.

Sure is nice to do as many tactics puzzles as I please instead of the 3 the non-paying members get to do...

So to me, yup, worth every penny.

Don't complain if u don't like price jst don't bother paying

I my self don't like price but it's not like they forcing u to Pay

I only come for the 3d board 😁

Once Lichess gets 3d board in their phone version I'll have no need to play here

Lichess got unlimited puzzles no adds and very smooth for bullet and blitz and very good cheat detective system

Only thing chess.com got is popalarity

But lichess is definitely getting more well known

And very easy to find game

Plus it supports many variety of chess

But def not knocking chess.com I have tried some of their lessons they were definitely very well put together
