Chess.com

On May 3 - 8, I had been on the website. I saw the $29 fee plan but did not opt for it. I lost interest in chess.com. However, on May 10,2018, Chess.com went ahead and charged my credit card $29. The phone number that appeared with that charge, *******827 is never answered by a person. Only an answering machine on which I have plaintively made my request for a cancellation of the $29. I have left that message every day for now eight days. So, it seems that Chess.com is poorly administered, rather sleazy, with perhaps some 'web-fraud' tendencies.

You can still report an opponent cheated on Chess.com but no longer given an option to describe the issue. This indicates to me they are so full of often justified complaints of cheating that they don't have to time to read all the correspondence.

I was playing chess with chess.com application more than a year and I'm so disappointed now. Lots of cheating and unnecessary times from your opponent. There is NO management and responsibility from it's leader team. Friends are not friends and scoring is NOT fair! If you respect your mindfulness, don't think about this junk app.

You create a login. Play, win and suddenly your account is closed for no reason at all.
Biased for Asian users it keeps on doing it from time to time.
I usually pick "beginner" to start with and win good 20-30 matches in a row. But as soon as I reach 1600+ the account gets banned for no reason at all.

The servers hang, no support staff, no replies to emails, nothing.

I agreed to pay a monthly fee of approximately $10 for my grandson to improve his game. However they charged me $129.89 for some unknown reason. I have called their toll free # which my bank gave me but no call back from them!
I wouldn't recommend this site to anyone

Chess.com has one of the worst records of fairness for any chess site. The ELO scores don't match any other sites because so many players on chess.com use engines to cheat in games. On top of that, the "moderators" on their forums ban players for bringing up the cheating problem in their discussion forums since discussing it would put a dent in their revenue if the widespread cheating was acknowledged.

On chess.com I like to use the review feature to analyze my games and see my mistakes I ran out of free reviews for the day and was given the option to upgrade in order to unlock the feature. When I pressed upgrade I was shown only yearly plans and purchase a year of subscription thinking I was buying a month. Not only that you can't use the review unless you get the more expensive plan. Shady practices to say the least

Chess.com claims a draw each and every time it is being beaten badly. As a player, (a) why am I not given the same option, and (b) why aren't we challengers given an opportunity to play beyond Chess.com's claimed: "draw". I have moved to play online elsewhere until these flaws are fixed.

I have been playing chess for over 20 years, I was a member of USCF rated 1800. I was a paid member at chess.com. If your opponent is a sore loser or didn't like you, he/she can flag you as "poor sport". Therefore, the "poor sport" group, only playing each other's. My reporting to chess.com of cheaters, runners, speech hate, Etc. was ignored for several months, and I found myself isolated from "real chess players", I was allowed to play ONLY against cheaters and "poor sport" players. Cheaters are welcome at chess.com. AVOID!

Chess.com has the first step of a tournament! A great source in my family.To be honest, I do have one con. The chat could be rude. I have got called a "loser". And somebody said "Bad Move". No problem with that just go in to settings and turn off chat. If you agree with this review and download the app 95% turn off chat. I do like that you can play some one and choose up to 30 min. A big question is "Are they bots?" No they are not. My proof is that I coordinated with a friend and searched the account and guess what, It worked.If you don't know how to play. Play a lesson. If you want to use your skills play a tactic. BTW you only have to pay $5 for more tactics everyday. Please show chess.com support by making an account or as many as you can. I hope my review convinsed you to get Chess.com.

They don't care about harassment, the basic functions or rules of chess, or the integrity of their software on any device. Riddled with issues on IOS, Android and even their site website!
I don't recommend giving these developers the ad watch time their hoping for, and I absolutely can't recommend going premium- unless a feature is to automatically uninstall this piece of software from your device. Literally go buy a board and watch some videos, you'll have a better time and you'll learn actual chess.

There are so many flaws with this site, for one, miss clicks, I know all online chess is like this, but they should at least give you a warning saying "Are you sure you want to move there", I have lost so many games thanks to it, another thing, is I play 3 minute chess, and even if your connection is superb, when there is 20 seconds left and I'm one move away from checkmate, it says my connection has been lost, and I lose the game. Not only that, if you play enough games, you will find that you play black about 75% of the time. And if that wasn't enough, they try to make you pay a stupid amount of £66 a year for some extra perks, without these you can only play the games, which is a huge scam as the tutors probably cheat aswell.

Don't expect to last long on chess.com. Especially if you improve. You will be accused of cheating and then you will be banned. It is done by robots so you will not be able to appeal. It doesn't matter if you've spent money on a membership you will eventually be banned. I've overheard conversations amongst scholastic players. "My chess rating is really good." "Yeah, well, I'm so good I've been banned by chess.com"

Overall, this is a great game and recommend to everyone. A few issues to watch out for, one if you abort more then once, your now in jeopardy of losing rank if you try and abort. This is unfair and ridicules, If I do not want to play someone I should have the right to abort with out losing rank points. Theses point are to show a player where you are in skill level, and helps support the competitive portion of the game bu, t if you lose points for not playing someone, these system becomes flawed and frustrating, and loses integrity. We work so hard to build up this ranking, only to lose points for reasons outside the purpose of the points. Chess.com find another way to punish good players that may not want to play everyone you put in front of us. It hurts nothing to abort, there are plenty of matches waiting for all. GET a clue and fix this.

This site is full of bots and cheats. Even there support team which is non existent are bots. This website is a f:;(ing joke. Don't ho here unless you want to lose to computer bots from obscure countries.
