The fact that you have to pay for premium to do some tournaments is ridiculous and unfair and the fact that you have to pay premium for certain times tournament is stupid

According to the schedule, there are 2 events at 2|1 that are not premium only.

But it makes it easier for premium users to get in to specific tournaments which is unfair

The premium tournaments last so much longer which is energy more unfair

There's nothing unfair about premium only events. There are events anyone can play in as well.

It is unfair because they last longer and premium can do more and get more opportunities

That's why it costs money, as with literally anything.

And there are members that want more of them

There are people who can’t afford the subscription so it would be more fair if we removed premium only tournaments

That's why there are free tournaments as well.

There are people who can afford high speed internet. Should we remove the high speed fiber optic cables to make bullet games more "fair"?

It is unfair because they are making you pay to have longer tournaments and that will ruin tournaments
space16777216
Those members who want more tournaments should think about the people who don’t even have the money while they complain about not getting a special type of tournament

Snobby premium players should not have the privilege to get their own tournaments

I've been able to host daily tournaments for the past two years via my club without a Premium account. It was always kind of crappy because it couldn't host more than seven players so I had to use to separate tournaments as pits. Now for some reason, I can't do it anymore. Please explain, Chess.com, why I can't host tournaments anymore. Now I can't have virtual tournaments for my school anymore.
