What do you like most about Chess.com?

I know most LOVE to play the game! It's addicting, can't deny that! However, I know we all have something we just love about Chess! I want to hear what YOU like most about our site! 

I love the interactions our members have with one another! It's incredible and inspiring how one site can bring so many millions of people together from all over the world to play such a fun and entertaining not to mention challenging game! 

I'd love to hear from you!

The learning tools: tactics trainer, chess mentor, the videos.  Its a shame that a site this good, has to be ruined by the forums.  As they say: "Youre only as strong as your weakest link"

The articles, the videos, the help and the jokes you get on the forums, reading the blogs, the live commentary during games, it's all really cool and fun and absorbing.  

That I get to play chess since I can't find live humans to play.

I love the focus on VIDEOS VIDEOS VIDEOS and even moreover, the obnoxious ads designed to circumvent my adblocker. Oh and let's not forget the super fancy animations. who cares if 1 min is unplayable on v3, gotta chase that tablet-kid dollar!

setting up (games/blog/threads) are a cinch, tabs are user friendly........ 

staff are nice, and mods (some) are generally helpful, 

I like that I don't have to choose who I play with, and win or lose, I will most probably never see them again, with million plus players, and no need for rematches.

It provides so much help to improve your chess skills even for those who don't go to a club and haven't learned chess from a teacher, like me.

Malaysia 🇲🇾 has a soft spot 😻🙋😜 for Edinburgh 

To quote the Wide World of Sports. " the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, the human drama of competition"

I also have to say I like the Tactics, Daily Puzzle etc. even thhough they get the best of me more often than not.

----------------------- From your choice of words it almost seems you don't like cc, in fact I am sensing some anger in you, even sarcasm. It is almost like you are upset because you cheated and then found that other cheat too. I can see how that will upset anybody.

I think the key here is using the engine during the game.

I love this post, it reminds me of a great film with mike douglas where the man says "[or use the same profanities spelled differently -CM]".

Blitz tournaments are like crack for retired people who played the game in their youth.  I was much better at chess back then, now that I'm a dried-up shell of my former self, I need the mental exercise to keep my remaining 6-7 brain cells alive.  I have one first-place and one second-place so far, so I know that I can win if I make the right moves for a few minutes at a time. 

you need chess to keep your last few brain cells alive ? thats like addiction masquerading as a cure.

I'm sure we know the fix to this!: ) Be nice!  

man, the staff on here are gorjiss.
