Chess.com has major issues the site lags from ads and makes playing near impossible, limited chess problems to three a day, consistent failure to punish people that escape. Of course you can solves the lag by just using the app till they start slapping ad banners and a video ad every 10 minutes like every other a cheep mobile game and you can just use lichess for problems but eventually if things don't shape up ppl will jump ship whole sale.
There are ads?!
...
Not to mention, look at these ridiculous ads I'm getting. I can't believe this is what appeals to the masses:
get the heck out of here, if u think chess.com doesn't deserve u means that u don't deserve chess. com
If you hate the site, leave.
Improper game set up . I wouldn't go as far as saying chess.com sucks but they need more human help with issues. I'm about to lose rating points on a daily tournament because the starting position is invalid and I refuse to play. I can't get a person to resolve it. The guy who started the tournament has had his membership revoked BTW
Being able to play chess online with people worldwide really is something to appreciate.

Thought you were banned. Wasn't your account closed long ago?
I wouldn't pay chess dot come any money given the amount of cheaters on here. I saw a plugin on youtube, it hooks into chrome and you can even cheat at bullet. I had someone play 25 moves in a 1m bullet game, they took only 2 secs to think out their moves, while I used all 60 sec. Did they get banned? No. Online chess is total BS, a complete waste of time. I don't care if cheaters ruin it though, because most chess players are a holes anyway.
"Thought you were banned. Wasn't your account closed long ago"?...... You must be confusing me with someone else. I posted 3 dots to keep an eye on this thread. Its SOoo negative....too negative for me. So I'll let the animals speak for me.

Perhaps, but your username and avatar stands out so I don't see how I would be confusing you for someone else.

I highly doubt that they didn't get banned - that sort of obvious cheating gets picked up by the automated systems within 24 hours nowadays. If you're expecting anything to deliver instant bans, you have unrealistic expectations. But it's clear that you don't actually like chess at all, so that fits.

that is wishful thinking, that very same program lets you set your "goal" rating and not a single detectio system will detect that, same goes in blitz where dudes are blasting out moves in every position taking less than 10 secs every move for the whole game
I think you have to concede that Chess.com does a good job of sponsoring and covering interesting events every month.
And as far as the effort to keep cheating under control, the numbers of closed accounts is published every month:
The numbers for September 2024 included more than 63,000 regular accounts and 14 titled accounts.
I think it would be great to have more insight into the numbers of closed accounts- for example to know what percentage of the closed accounts were less than 30 days old. And what percentage is more than a year old. And distribution by ratings bracket and/ or time control.
I don't think that information would give away any of the Fair Play Team's secrets.

I don't like some of the arrogant people who play it, you sound like one of them. Cheating in the end will ruin the whole online game, only an idiot can't see that.

Unfounded paranoia about cheating is also very bad for the game as well. Cheating is a problem, sure, but Chess.com has invested a lot of resources to try and make sure it's not a horrible problem. It's certainly not at the levels that people want to declare at 80%, 50% of games - it's more like 5%, definitely no more than single digits.
I don't know but lately chess.com is lagging heavily. It's not fault of my internet connection as I have double checked this fact by playing on other chess site side by side with the same connection. It feels kinda bad when you lose by timeout in a winning position in hyperbullet and bullet tournaments specially.
Hope you will do something about it....
