I agree entirely, and it's so stupid that you need to use a credit card to get a free trial, if I was the owner of the world I would make that illegal so that I could learn from the game. This website is ultimately pay to win, the only reason I use it is that it has 4 player chess and more players than any other chess website

ok but. who ever asked

Pay 2 Win is something entirely different. You only pay for features, not for winning. So no.

I was champion of four Canadian provinces. I drew a game against freaking MIKHAIL TAL back when he was ranked #4 in the world.

You'll have to pardon me if I don't do chess.com's puzzles and lessons.

ok alright

something tells me that other site is lichess . org

and yes chess.com is p2w the only reason why i have diamond is because a family member said they would pay it for me

chess.com locks everything behind a paywall and i recommend using lichess

i think chess.com should tell us the average ratings of people with a membership vs people who don't.

i bet people with a diamond membership have much higher ratings, this site is pay 2 win

why? coz they give it to free for every titled player, and titled players are usually better than non titled players

come up with an actual argument

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.

mathematically impossible

for every game someone loses, someone else wins

btw ppl with positive win rates do exist, like me (last time i checked)
