Well, i don´t know if you know that you can always look to to the games you played in the last 30 days. For that, you click on the button Games Archive, next to the last 10 games you played.
And i don´t think that there are options like you said, but maybe the staff knows it...
Hey. Yeah, I just noticed that, hence the edit. Thanks, though
Ok, but if you want more, i think you have to pay.
So that´s the reason why i don´t become a premium member
As I understand, every game is saved. The thing here is what you can SEE as a free member. I understand that if you get a paid membership you will able to see more/all games depending on the membership type you purchase.
If I now buy a membership, will I be able to see the games that I can't see now?
( I mean the game I play two months ago that are gone)

Yes - up to a year back for $29, and all your games for $80.

Sorry, but your reasoning makes no sense...

correct - no games are ever deleted.
You do get an awful lot for free, and I appreciate that individual circumstances are different, but paying $29.99 (approx £15) for 1 year is excellent value!.
I have tried numerous sites and there are many where the free element is much more restrictive and I have to say this is one the best value for free and also one the the best outright for 'subscribers'.

One different way to save all of your games is to buy a software and download any game in PGN format you have played, naturally the software has to allow for this. You will have all your games for ever if you also do a back up on your computer. To do this when you are done playing any game go to the window at the right of the chessboard. Click on the Moves tab you will see all the moves made during the game, at the bottom right hand corner in the window you will see the "get PGN" wording, just click on it and download the file to your desktop or any folder you have created in My documents, for Windows XP, or any other folder you have created to download your PGN files. Good luck!
Why buy software when you can download free chess engines? I use WinBoard 4.2.7 to replay/study all of my saved games. You can still download your games in the same manner, and voila...didn't cost you a penny.
The Doctor
Erik read it. He commented up towards the top.
Honestly, I typed this message before I realized that the "30 day" rule. I have a Arena to look over my old PGNs, I just thought that I was losing games very rapidly due to the volunteer greeting.
My main question now is whether we could get rid of the games that are only 2-3 moves so they don't clutter up the site. There was somebody else making a similar comment in another forum which I can't find right now.
I recently started as a volunteer chess greeter to try and find some new opponents and share my knowledge of chess.com to help the chess.com community. I found out quickly that most of these games only lasted a couple of moves before people dropped off or decided they wanted to play rated games, which is fine.
My one complaint, though, is that I was going to look over an old game and I realized it was no longer on my Online Chess page--apparently Chess.com only saves the last ten games you have played. While I absolutely understand the reasoning for doing so (limited space), I also am a little disheartened by this. It's almost as if I am being punished for being a volunteer greeter.
Obviously, I mean no disrespect to the Chess.com team and I appreciate what Erik and the gang are doing; I was just wondering if there was some way to circumvent this issue--maybe there's a way to not save any games that are less than, say, 6 moves?
Any suggestions from the team--or anyone, for that matter?
EDIT: I just re-read the page and realized that it only saves games for the last thirty days, but I still think we could get rid of all of the games shorter than 6 moves.
