Is premium worth it?

Are premium worth it? It depends. If you want to improve at chess and have high achievement goals for chess the premium is totally worth it! But if you only want to play chess for fun and mainly is on the social side of chess.com, I recommend you to make chess.com stay free because a lot of features here are for you to improve at chess. But for ad haters use gold. For me I think using diamond is all worth it except for getting all bots unlocked because I feel like I don't play them that much. The most valuable part of this is game review, no ads, better game review moves explanation and insight which have helped me a lot for chess! Lichess could be a free alternative but it has very few feature that can match chess.com here for me. For me the worst premium if you want to improve your chess to buy is gold because it does not have most of the best part of premium I have mention in my opinion. Also I recommend premium for rated players above 1100 because players lower rating point in my opinion is not yet best to use premium to improve chess and I will recommend lichess (for the free puzzle) or gold until the could get better but still, for almost all player if you want to get better at chess, premium can help but you need to buy at the right moment if you want it to worth all you money for very advanced player, they do not need premium because the are so good at chess and have the ability to deeply analyze their game.

Thank you for spending your time on this!

Nope. There is literally NOTHING on this site's premium version that you can't get for free elsewhere.

And you know this how? Have you looked at every other chess site on the internet?

If you are going to fully use it, it is definitely worth it.

gold membership is enough and for sure worth it. if you are not there for playing. It is a bit like chessbase.

the problems are excellent and you can create your own sets with uncountable different options.

I also like the opening trainer a lot. and you can create stats for literally everything and more

Premium is totally worth it...it helps the site too...although other sites are also good, such as lichess.org. I really like the layout of chess.com though.

No. Not al all. Save your $$. I'm not renewing.

nope, after you have done the excercises for months you will find that you won't do more than what you get for free, but do the free trial.
