Very Good Experience Here I have been a member of chess.com for 8 years, and in that time have also tried other online chess websites but did not find them to be as comprehensive or well-managed as this one. I am telling you honestly that chess.com has been, and remains, the best out of all the sites I've tired. Nothing is perfect, but in my observation this company has done a great deal to reduce the amount of cheating, trolling, and game abandonment over the past decade. Stability-wise they got their act together a lot better recently, and now server overloads are very rare. A good thing! No, I do not "work for the website"...I am just someone who enjoys playing chess online. For the money, I think a membership is pretty good deal for what I've gotten. I have learned so, so much playing at chess.com. In short, I think the negative reviews here are overblown, and I would definitely recommend this website without hesitation.

Ratings mean nothing Win a few then all of a sudden low rating players are masters no way someone with ratings I am playing are that good then goes back to me winning again this is not chess it's a joke

Faulty AI program … Generally speaking the site has good features. HOWEVER chess.com AI program to catch cheaters is faulty. I have used the site for over a year and have slowly built up my rating to 2167. I was playing 2 games against top 50 player, rated just under 2400. Both of these games were 1 move per 3 days and both ended in draws. When the 2nd game had finished my account was suddenly closed. Without any warning. I appealed and was denied. CHESS.com didn't even read the appeal. If they would have read it then they would have answered my question All I received were computer generated form letters. There was no proof that I cheated, none could be found because I don't have engines in my phone or computer I also do not receive assistance. A similar problem has happened to Kaspachess which he posted on his chess website. So beware if you play great chess.com will assume you are cheating and close your account. Fairplay works both ways and everyone has rights.

I like this game online but it's… I like this game online but it's getting worse for people cheating and abandoning the game at the last second when they play a move or on the competitions it's like 7/10 people who abandon, and you feel like you've just wasted your time. Chess needs to block these people from playing again.

To cheating dot com: To cheating dot com: You always had a rotten interface, with pieces jumping to places they were not meant to go, but this takes the biscuit: you deliberately made castling impossible. Especially when one is under time pressure. I already lost two games and ratingpoints because of this. I love chess but you made me hate it. You never resolved any issues I‘ve brought to your attention: timing , pieces jumping all over the place, freezing issues and, and, and. I want to play chess not wrestle with software designed by incompetent nitwits. Worst of all reputed Grandmasters support this nonsense. Just stands to show, how corrupt this outfit must be; grandmasters never do anything without getting paid. These things begin affecting my health. I herewith close my account and I publish everywhere why. With contempt Tarraschustra
