Don't worry bro .. its not going to affect your FIDE rating in any manner :)
Unfair!
Sort:
It is pretty obvious you don't travel much either. I travel for a living. It does not matter how "comfortable" the seat is, travel wears you out. Staying in hotels wears you out. I have stayed in 5 star hotels across Europe and the Middle East as well as the US and Canada. It does not matter. You are in a strange land and your body take quite a while to get accustomed to it.
You choose not to have the additional features, it would be different if they said you are not allowed to have them.
Pay the money and you get them. Stop whining.
And, Oh, yeah, Fenway Park is EXACTLY like Yankee Stadium, and Madison Square Garden is EXACTLY like the Orlando Arena and the football field where the Green Bay Packers play is EXACTKY like the Seattle Seahawks stadium. I could go on but you are obviously ignorant of this subject.
Sheesh. The poor arguments used here are quite odd, indeed.

Belgium? I'll have an ice-cold amstel beer please whilst trying to sort out what's fair or unfair here.
Amstel is a Dutch beer, but cheers anyway.
Non paying members have the right to complain? I want to complain about that.

Online chess on chess.com is unfair because it gives an advantage to paid members in two ways. 1. If a player wants to make more than one line of conditional moves he must be a member to do so. 2. Vacation times comes in automatically for paid members. I believe that both instances gives an advantage in playing the game to the paid members. I know that chess.com exists so as to make money for the owners of the website but doing so should not give advantage in the playing of the actual games. There are plenty of other features that are provided to paid members to encourage people to cough up the dough.
Wow!!!!! What a surprise!!! a club that gives benefits to its paying members and preferences them over the non-paying general public. Dr Frank, you too are invited to put your hand in your pocket and help support a site that gives a great environment and services to everyone who chooses to use it, paying or not. Please note the absence of advertisements on this site. That is possible only because the members pay. I have to stop writing now. I have to go get yet another physiotherapy session on my back which has been injured carrying people like you who are unwilling or unable to take up their share of support for chess.com but who still enjoy its benefits.

Classifying Amstel as a beer is an insult to real beers.
Vacation time? What's that?

Setting aside the negative-positive debate, there are plenty of lines that black can choose in order to keep the game a stagnant draw no matter what white tries in the opening. As long as this is always the case (and on ICCF it most certainly is bearing that out), then the game technically is a draw by default. For example, against 1.e4 on ICCF, I can play the Petroff and there's no computer on the planet that can overcome the symmetrical and stagnant nature of the defense to generate a complex enough position to brute-force win from. It just isn't there. In fact, the motto I've come up with about this is: "A win on ICCF comes from both sides wanting it. If your opponent refuses to dance, you can't make them."
Still, the Petroff has some of the wildest (open game) tactics found in just any opening. Many of the lines run 30+ move pairs deep before the alleged GM "draw" is reached.
And the theory of that opening quite large, as well.

+1, So are the Scots (@Netzach) so worked up about their upcoming independence vote that they have lost the ability to judge real (manly) beers from their otherwise poor imitations (Amstel Light, for example)?
William Wallace would be sad, indeed. Pass the ALE, please.
Members can use Chess Mentor and looking chess videos. Thats much more unfair. 
hello...smth unfair happened to me too. I got kicked off this site because I mentioned during a game the word "pornstar" during the conversation with the other player...but it was not to offend the player, nor did I use obscene words so why the sudden interruption of my game which surprised me and the other player...why is the freedom of speech forbidden on chesscube when you mention such words and when smb offends you because they are poor losers it is permitted...wtf...does anybody know about this? it could happen to others too
[COMMENT DELETED]
So, a mod kicked you off for innocently typing pornstar? I think there's more to the story. What was the sentence in full?
Waiting for Godot.
Santa is real I saw him in town!
No one can prove a negative. Nor should they have to.
Someone says there is a Santa Claus...then it is encumbent on them to prove it. (And it is not possible to prove that there isn't a Santa Claus, even though there isn't.)
what do you mean no santa claus???
