Chess.com

Once I got charged now game a analysis won't load. Lessons are ok but a little over my ability right now. Would be nice to see more openings and defense rather than 2 world class players battling it out

I WASTED MONEY ON TWO YEARS OF MEMBERSHIP. SITE IS HORRIBLY MISSMANAGED. YOU CAN CONTACT CHESS.COM BUT THEY NEVER REPLY. So FOCUS CHESS.COM OR F$#% OFF CUS YOUR STUPID.

They take your premium money and do not invest in their operation in order to handle the traffic they have. Millions of new "subscribers" (free) account to a DNS attack and most of them are "gamers" and not chess players, using engines to cheat for the "score." So, a paying member cannot access the site, period, nor the premium features they paid for, then they are cheated by the millions of DNS free members who can just create a new profile and come back and cheat again. Chess.com will not deal with obvious cheaters because that would be admitting to a problem that they would have to deal with, and they don't want to deal with it. They want to take your premium money and give you nothing in return but free member cheaters. SUGGESTION: Premium players should be on their own server(s) and have the ability to only play against other premium players who care to support the site. Let the freeloaders suffer 503/DNS errors and let the paying players enjoy the fruits of their contributions to your site.

The general idea of the platform is excellent, lots of tournements, modes of game and grops, but full of cheaters, bad staff who never pay attention to your complains, the matchmaking is one of the worst that i ever used.

There are better sites

If you defeat one of their administrators online they say you was using a computer engine and close your account.

Chess.com has players from Syria, Iran and RUSSIA. They do not discriminate. This works great as long as we are all at peace and the site is NOT being used for other purposes like how to hurt others.
The FIDE has moved to another country after Russians invaded the Ukraine killing babies and here they are playing chess and drinking vodka on OUR Western Site. Chess.com Owners should be ashamed of themselves for harboring terrorists and terrorist states.
They should be but people they are not!/
This is a very immature place and a dangerous one for the free world. Fun chess but very very poor western support against terrorists and creeps like Putin the murderer.

Specifically in 'Blitz' games, this site / the owners of it, have for some time now, ignored a perfectly valid suggestion, to use a STD. DEV. Estimation, of those who 'get lucky' with their opponent getting a disconnection,. Of which i suggested YEARS AGO,

But could've been used to AT LEAST act on those way above normal chances of a std. Dev. Above 1,
-of...

Both abnormal AMOUNTS, of games where there's a disconnection issue,
BUT ALSO, (always)

When the games that it happens in, happens when they're LOSING, by-score, or perhaps the site's own analytics on "blunders" and similar.

---

Personally, it's quite obvious that NOT GETTING more dissconnections, during games that're longer and you have plenty of time to re-establish your connection, is some kind of DDoS like exploit of something high-tech... people working in gov agencies, or security-intelligence companies perhaps, in their lunch hour, etc. A club perhaps, of people who've an illegal copy of something that should'n't've left the building, etc.

Whatever the reality,. NOT getting them, as i said, during games NOT-short,
Is incredibly obvious.

--------------

And as i've said, i SAID ALL THIS,
Years ago,

AND made the suggestion,
That considering all the programmers that the site must get,
( it's not rugby, is it?)

There'd probably be several dozen volunteers willing to do it just for FAIR PLAY,
On the site they goto / for personal satisfaction, even if the company couldn't pay them for doing it.

Disappointing that pityful obsessives care about the word "blitz" that much... we kicked the Nazis asses guys, get over it,.

But UNPLAYABLY persistent,

When something as simple as a std. Dev. Calc, with some clever data-extraction processing,
Could be a simple MEASUREMENT mechanism,

And probably could've made a automatic detection system for the 'lucky' ones,

Years ago.

What kind of 'professional' site, is this? Doesn't take cheating seriously?
F*** it then, im going elsewhere.

The main drawback of this site is the complete lack of ability to handle lag. The result is that games are regularly lost simply because of a slow connection. Individuals on the site will continue clearly drawn or lost games in the hope that lag will affect their opponent. The fact that the site has not managed to program a time stamp on moves is a testament to the fact that they simply do not care about chess.

Disappointed with how slow you can move the pieces on this game, my last game i played my move to checkmate the King i had made the move but said I had lost the game on time but I had already made the move, if I had lost on time I wouldnt of been able to move?

For the past several months, it's infuriating to try and play short time controls at chess.com. Their servers are beyond terrible. I have lost countless games on time, because moves I play in less than half a second take over 4 to travel to the distant realm of chess.com's server. Even pre-moves often take over two seconds, instead of the standard 0.1. I don't know what sort of problem that is, if it's local, and I'm sure it doesn't happen to GMs in the site's much advertised death matches and live streams. I know it's not me, because it happens regardless whether I am playing from home or elsewhere, and more importantly, because it has never happened on chess24, where I occasionally play.

Chess.com is the largest chess playing site. Ensuring an at least decent user experience should be their first priority, but this huge problem has persisted for so long now that it seems they either do not care, or can't fix it. Neither option is appealing.

Awful costumer service, and the interface is riddled bugs and dead ends. But who just wants to kick back and have a few fun games of Chess... yeah well, then there are better alternatives for that as well.
Overall a very questionable site.

I've never won the opponent. The timing is programmed somehow on the behalf of the opponent. I do not recommend wasting time by playing chess at this site.

The site is crooked and they, the administrators, are the cheats. They harass you to try an get you to buy their product; they build you up with wins then whack you with losses so you might think you would improve from purchasing their advanced memberships: Bait and switch. What you do not understand chess.com is that THERE IS NO HELP FOR ME!
