Like you take chess seriously you’re in the top 0.3% so why don’t you just pay £9 a month to get to title level chess e.g NM FM IM GM

In before the posts about the benefits of being a free member.

I don't think your rating if high merits anyone paying for diamond membership, its surely down to whether one can afford it, I am currently a paid member but sadly won't be when it runs out due to having to retire due to health reasons so won't be renewing its down to costs so will be continuing as none member but rarely play more than 8 games at time and only at 3 days per move.

I don't take chess seriously - I just enjoy it as a hobby.

Also, having a membership won't guarantee that someone reaches a titled level of play. That depends entirely on the player.
