using the opening book in live games is also against the rules.

PX3D is pay2win. Pocket rogues might be considered pay2win considering perks with  “ultimate” edition. But chess….is NOT PAY2WIN

I tend to think the site uses algorithms to keep players on the losing side, over the past year I have been close to breaking even but I've never won more games than I have lost.

with premium you can do so much more training to make you learn and key moments and stuff

Diamond members are paying only $0.27 per day. At gold, I’m out a whopping $0.08 per day. Definitely getting my money’s worth. Pay-to-play? Well, not by much really.

This is like saying that any other sport is pay to win. Sure, you can get private coaching, better equipment etc in football, American football, basketball, but it doesn't mean you're automatically going to be better at it than someone who can't get any of that stuff

Chess is more skill to win not pay to win

Paying for premium provides such membership a faster connection and a more stable server. In the past the Site advertised this as a perk, but now denies any such advantage is made over the non-paying membership. Do your own speed tests to verify this fact. It’s partly related to all the adds slowing the connection, but that’s not the whole story. Pay to win. Having a more stable, faster server is the primary reason I paid for so many years … which equates to not losing games due to connection issues.
