8 of 40Love the app. Gives me an opportunity to play with opponents from various locations.
The app has too many cheaters. They don’t get banned if they’re smart about it
Chess really helped me improve my skills on chess. My favorite game to play is chess so improving on chess with this app was pretty fun. Even though I lost a lot, I still had fun.
I just want to play chess, not be inundated with confetti, kids gaming sounds, etc. I’ve been playing LiChess mostly and came back to chess.com after almost a year and it took me 5 minutes to turn OFF every cartoon like feature, notification, special whatever. I am a Chess player not a Gamer.
Constant barrage of “buy premium to become a better player” and locking game analysis (which used to be completely free) behind a paywall

They think you are cheating when not and close your account and steal your money literally. They stole $80 from me and they act like they all righteous!!! Thieves…
