No Pay, No Play

I just cancelled my diamond membership because I didn't have time to use all of its features.  My bullet games are now so lagged I have no chance of beating anybody rated above 900. 

The system now also has an annoying tendency to drop your piece one space before you intend to drop it.  Five times in a game (which just happened to me), and you might as well forget about it, no matter how good you are.  

If chess.com's goal is to chase away people who want to play but don't want to pay $100 per year to do it, it's working.  I will use up my points and go to the "other" more expensive site, which admittedly is less user friendly, but at least lets you move as fast as you are able.

 

Thanks chess.com  for causing me to like this game a lot less than I used to.  Now I can get back to running and bicycling in the morning instead of being burned out from playing "fixed" chess and drinking too much in the evening.
