Why do you play on chess.com?

I like meeting people who play chess and my @chess.com address :p

For where I am at in my life right now, Chess.com is a good fit. Thank you again to all the Chess.com staff and members for making it so.

I play here because I don't get a whole lot of chances to play and chessworld sucks if you don't pay.

Best place for correspondence play, good vibe, plus the calamari is excellent.

i play here to encounter different chess players across the world and experience different games with various tactics.

I play here for a variety of reasons. The web site is easy to navagate and user-friendly. I've found my opposition to usually be sportsmanlike and sometimes a real joy to play. The added extras make it the best chess site I've come across as far as learning and just being fun, and the few friends or family I have that play live far away, so it's hard to play OTB.

I play here because this site offers alot of choices: online chess, live chess, and chess forum with many topics and members.  The Live Chess applet here is the only live chess applet that does not disconnect me or screws me up with some other bugs.  Great work by chess.com team with the development of the Live Chess applet.

I play here because my rating here is higher than my USCF rating!

Well...It's true that it's fun

I play on chess.com because ... well, what else would you do on a chess web site?

(Is the reply limited to 12 words or fewer? What is the prize for the best tie-break slogan?)

And by the way I play on chess.com because there is lots of things to do on chess.com no other chess site has.

OTB is over-the-board

well ... i play on chess.com because i like playing chess... and i love meetin people from different countries ... so i guess this is the ultimate best site 4 me cos i can do both at the same time lol

Uhm...i play on chess.com because this website was  the best chess website....and i can prove my chess skill every day....meet people from different countries and make friend with them. So fun...that's all.

I just typed in chess into the URL Bar and got chess.com, after 2-3 days i decided to get a free membership and now 1-2 months later im thinking about premium!!! It is just a great community with so many options!!!! chess.com rooocks!!!!

because chess.com rules.

it is very addictive and i just like playing chess using the mentor and stuff like that

Becuase i have tried other chess sites and this is by far the best It helps me prepare for OTB tourn. and i get to try out some new lines here to see what works for me.Keep up the great work chess.com

I don't play correspondence chess here as i'm a member of gameknot.com which is a site dedicated to that type of chess. But i do play 20 minutes semi rapids over the board (otb) and here I can try to play with the same clock time and thus train for those tournaments . Also I think that this site has some great novelties to offer that at some other sites you would have to pay for. I may become a permium member here but I'm a newbie so I'm testing the waters a little. I must say thta the sportsmanship and friendliness of the players here is great. What I would like to see is the ability to form and join teams and clubs that'd  be great.

yeah i agree
