Why I won't pay for a membership...

Love to play 30 minute games. Seems far to many never want to play actual games there, instead use the fact you can't abort, never move and make you either resign or wait forever (what, 10 minutes?) before they are in violation of fair play.

If chess.com can't create a fair game format in every format, including 30 minute games, why should they get my money? We come to play chess, not deal with people who are here to play head games, never making a first move, putting the frustration on those who do want to actually play.

Hey chess.com, it's your money........

You may want to try ICC. As it's a paying website, you won't run into this kind of people

You pay for the learning tools.  

Whether or not  you pay does not affect the playing of games or the quality of membership.

You expect chess.com to put a leash on their paying members? That's quite the logic. If you're paying for the service, you can be unfair and swear all you want, they won't ban your account.

You could also just apply the game filter in your settings to only show challenges from Premium members, and that would have the same effect.

Paying members abandon their games just as much as non paying ones. There's no correlation.

Really? Did you do a study on this let's see the stats then.. just because you say something doesn't make it true.

A chess site is not a good place to play 30 minute games. Try 10 minutes. You can do it. You will improve over time.

It is not the money that matters,  its the enjoyment of playing a game of chess that matters, money cant buy happiness.

I got a gold membership which is really cheap, and love doing 25 tactics a day! I am trying to play more often, but time is always short.

Nah, I just think that chess.com wouldn't ban paying members' accounts for whatever reason. One day I may try it, to prove my theory.

I told my wife Kaynight would make such a comment.

I appreciate the feedback from all who were positive in nature. if they just set the 30 minute games up like the 10 minute format the problem would at least be mimimized. Logic problem indeed....

Kaynight is forever talking down to others. History of post do not lie.

As for complaints.... Fix the obvious problems and people won't complain about them.
