I have noticed that titled FIDE players are no longer posting their wisdom and closing accounts. Chessdotcom doesn't want knowledgeable players posting here for some reason. Who are you supposed to rely on now for advice here, some highly rated online blitz nobody?
Pfren and other coaches closed their accounts
Sort:
Chess Coach Andras still has a chess.com account and it says it's his ONLY account. Maybe he got a deal to only use Chess.com. Perhaps they are getting some deal that requires them to close their accounts or maybe they know something we don't
If there's some desl going on, that's abhorrent. Chess.com is trying to monopolise a game that belongs to everyone.
I've started to see it with Chess Coach Andras closing his lichess account and now I've noticed that @pfren (who has contributed a lot to the forums) closed his chess.com account about a month ago. It seems suspicious since normally people would just be inactive for a long period of time but it seems that there could be other factors involved
