Do you agree that chess is 99% tactics? If it is, don't you think chess.com should allow basic members to solve unlimited tactics too?

My opinion is 0/10 troll topic.

Chess.com isn't the only place to do tactics, though I will point out I pay an annual fee to get the data and feedback that shows me where I'm weak on another tactics site.

There's no "right" to do tactics for free.  Who is supposed to pay to run a site so others can do free tactics?  Are you afraid you'll have to skip a couple restaurant/fast food meals if you help pay for it yourself?

Chess.com gives basic members 5 tactics a day, but in other sites they are unlimited.Examples:- Chesstempo.com, Lichess.org and chessbase.com.

 Dear sree64

                    Since there are other sites that give unlimited usage, then what are you doing here?

Chess.com gives quality tactics. Quality is always better than quantity.

sree64

Other sites don't give quality tactics.

non sense. chess.com gives you lessons, that's what other sites don't have.

sree64

I know. But I'm talking about tactics, not lessons.

sree64

It gives quality tactics and even lessons.

No.

Chess is 100% calculation.  And without a sound strategic plan, you dont have tactics.  But lets get this "discussion" between tactics, and strategy started AGAIN...

Not only calculation but a lot of things are required like strategy,opening, and even calculation.

It’s irrelevant whether chess is 99% tactics or not. Why would anybody consider themselves entitled to unlimited access to content that somebody else paid to create and owns? We should all go to OPs house and drink all of his beer because we want it.
