The answer is in your own hands:
Firefox and Adblock Plus.
Don't moan, fix it.

Do you see the application is called "Adblock"?
oh really? It actually removes all ads?

Yes! that's why I suggested it.
Any ads that are not removed automatically can be removed manually via a right-click option, on top of the offending ad.
Enough talk now, try it.
Yeah, the problem is this is not my computer. I'm using it temporarily. My home internet is broken.
Oh well, suffer then for want of five minute's effort. My sympathy just evaporated.
I know what I am going to do when I get home and fix my internet!

He may not be using that browser.

Buy a visa giftcard from a nearby drugstore and buy membership using it

This is probably most practical advice yet.
My guess is that with the OP's original technical challenges (not of his own - Net access at home and temporarily on public PC, I assume) he would benefit with the most inexpensive available membership over the long haul. The other benefits come into play where ad-blocking does not.

Chess players need consentration! Plus, their "free gift card" is just a scam! I'm 99% sure of it. Why would I be getting the same message over and over again? I know that Chess.com needs ads, but voice ads are too far.
You need to concentrate to spell concentration right.

For some reason the only ads I see are to upgrade my account here. You should use Chrome.
One of my games froze. How do I fix it with out losing points?

I wholeheartedly agree. Look, erik, I understand how the ad system works. If everyone used Adblock and Noscript, the companies advertising here would notice that they were getting no traffic, and we wouldn't be able to have free memberships. So that's why I gladly keep the ads on, at least for the principle of it.
But ones that scream at me make me block all ads for a long time.
