Life-time diamond membership option

Avatar of gorgeous_vulture

What price would you pay today for *any* asset ? The trite (but correct) answer is the present value of the expected future benefits. If you offer me $100 in a year's time, today it is worth $100 / 1 + r (where r is the interest rate at which I can borrow for 1 year). For annuities and similar lifetime commitments it's a bit more complicated. To determine what it's worth to you, you would have to decide the maximum of how many years you and chess.com are going to live, what the likely cost of diamond membership would be each year and discount with an appropriate yield curve. If Erik offers you lifetime membership for less than that number it is, in theory, a good deal.

Bear in mind that if Erik discovers that becoming a monster truck driver or entertaining wealthy west coast widows is more lucrative than dealing with us jackasses, the time to live part may be shorter than you think ...

Maybe it says the lifetime membership isn't worth it because no one here speaks or posts articles in Korean?

lifetime membership is a nice idea,short of an accidental death,most people may not have $6000when they are born,according to Windows-7 calculation,but if a 5 or 10 year membership might be a good idea..

so then if someone gets a lifetime membership (regardless of the cost), if they die the next day will a spouse or next-of-kin be able to take it over? :D lol

Avatar of ChessMarkstheSpot

that means you're planning my death?!?  LOL

$599 for lifetime membership is a good deal. Rather less than what you would spend on books, software, coaches, travel and tournament fees in an attempt to make master and get it for free Laughing

Avatar of RookedOnChess

It's actually a GREAT deal for anyone who has $599 to spend (which I don't, but wish I did!)
