Yea especially at the higher level where people have strong Chess coaches tell them personally how to improve, but the good thing is more and more stuff is becoming free

I agree with you, 1 a day is way too limited especially for those who grind chess

Lucina_morningstar

Strongly disagree, the reason why you have to pay is because it helps pay for the servers as well. This is what allows us to use this website.

I can't agree more. Absolutely. Chess.com is way too greedy especially since it's already cemented itself as the #1 chess website. Put some consideration to poor people and children bruh. The one and only thing I absolutely hate chess.com for. Although there's this website called chessbase, 100x worse, so yea sometimes I forgive cc for this reason.

I agree. Its pretty annoying have to go to a third party site for free reviews

If the OP text should be printed, it would have to be with a dot matrix printer.

I’m conflicted on this one because one one hand it would be really nice, but at the same time, their main source of revenue is memberships, and let’s face it, game review is what everyone buys a membership for

definitely disagree; if lichess.com could make money and sustain itself from donations alone, chess.com should do so as well. Parasitizing off of us poor people ain't nice.

57 the difference is lichess is run basically as a passion project, while cc is a business. And that’s ok, it just limits what they can do as they need to keep their stockholders interests and such in mind.

Also lichess does not make much money. That’s just not possible with their business model, ad revenue can only get you so far

yea but chess.com being a for-profit company is really irritating fr. Literally EVERYTHING is business-oriented, and don't care as much about our thoughts compared to how much money they could make. Only good thing about chess.com tho, the staff is generally exceptionally hard working and nice, so yea if chess.com pays these people high salaries, then I'm fine with it (mostly). but if cc is spending money elsewhere then it's totally greedy.
