The community is nice, helpful, and there are a lot of experienced players that offer good advice. Also, the 'Learn' section is really helping me get back into the swing of things. Love the lessons and the vids!

Yes, please share with all. Chess.com is the most accepting place not only on the Internet, but the entire world. If you are looking for a place to share, discuss, and just overall show your passion for Chess, this is the place. I've never had a bad experience. Chess.com truly exhibits how great humans can be.
Also, I created a club. If you love Chess as much as I do I encourage you to join. Invite your whole team.

The site is probably the most comprehensive and efficiently run of all the online Chess sites. The nice design, the numerous options, the smooth use throughout and its no surprise it's one of the most popular and the most frequented. It has its flaws and they need to be remedied immediately but until it's topped the site will hold sway as no.1 for quite some time to come.


And just like that, the 1200-1499 5/0 blitz tournaments that started 30 minutes after every hour, my favorite feature, vanished. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted and there are plenty of other things for me to do, even out here in the Oregon wilds. I wish my participation had concluded with just a little higher rating.

I like to play Online chess for a simple reason....Im a business owner/mother and a wife, time is limited and precious. I find online chess very convenient. I know I have 24hrs, 48hrs or whatever it is to make my moves

I just say what i feel, but looks like you want to live in your dream reality... This is not a good place to play chess....
1. Try being happier.
2. Try self-control.

The forums has enforceable rules clearly stated in the ToS (https://www.chess.com/legal) and the Posting Policies (https://www.chess.com/forum/view/community/chesscom-posting-rules). By simply following these rules, more or less, one's voice will never be silenced. This is what we want.
What we don't want is having to edit/delete posts, mute members, ban members or even give warnings due to failure to read and/or follow these policies designed to promote harmony and community.
The community is nice, helpful, and there are a lot of experienced players that offer good advice.
