is there a setting to play sportsmen and not noobs
Sort:
From the looks of it you're paying but still a noob. How queer.
You know AlkinKing you are absolutely right I am a noob because I am paying for something has an increasing propensity to cause disappointment and dissatisfaction. I shall be cancelling my subscription and spending time and money on something else
I haven't noticed much of a behavioral difference between paid and unpaid members. And then you have people like me who are premium members but aren't paid members. How do you weed us out? I would assume that premium members are at least less likely to cheat, though. Since losing their premium account would super suck.
Well now I feel bad.

I had hoped this was a safe environment in which to play where mutual respect abounded.
I'ts a fair point mate. in daily games you can choose only to play paying members and members who have played a certain number of games. i wish they had that feature in live.

Can you!? ...goes to check his daily settings...
How would you feel if nobody would like to play with you just because you have paid for membership?

Custom challange....then....more options......then you will see "premium members" only and "min games played"

It's not ideal but in daily games, the "Min games" tab weeds out the ones that accept your challenge then never make a move.

Glad i made your day!
You use to get it for inviting friends. Not sure if that still works. Or how it works because I've had dozens of real life friends make accounts and never been premium.

How can you be a Premium member but not a paying member??
Not sure i understand the question.......a paying member is a premium member....a premium member is a paying member
All titled players also get free premium...

If people did not abort, Non start, abandon and let the clock run down in a losing position so much, it would be a non issue.....but they do!
As a premium member i can tell you from experience that all of the above happens a lot less when playing other premium members.
Sorry......but your fellow non paying members are doing you a disservice with their actions.

Even people who don't have the dumb symbol next to their username are still "paying" by choosing to visit the site and watch the ads and have just as much right as you do. A lot of the trouble makers actually pay for a membership just to post stupid nonsense. Sad really. Focus on your chess and ignore the rude players.
i can bet that most basic members use an adblocker........
