A couple of observations worth sharing about this site before reviewing. If you removed the obvious shill reviews being written by who-knows-who, chess.com would be running 75% 1-star on Trust Pilot. Also, the copy-paste rebuttals being written (to wit, "we take cheating seriously") are abject falsehoods. A cursory survey of the chess.com cheating problem shared via YouTube and elsewhere reveals that people are regularly using engines to play/win games and make no secret of it, but chess.com does zero about it. I've also noted that a number or critical reviews posted here previously have curiously since disappeared. Things to think about.The concise version is that this site is infested with engine users, through and through. For this reason titled players with integrity have left. What remains are new users and young players who don't know or understand that the entire site is basically a money grift by Silicon Valley swindlers and their staff of underpaid developers doing the dirty work.Also note that any discussion or even an innocent question about *possible* cheating is immediately locked and posters are referred to "the cheating group" to discuss the matter, there. And what do you find if you go there? The same cast of curmudgeons predictably and personally attacking anyone with a cheating claim. "Skill issue," they'll tell you, and "learn to play, dummy." It's obvious to a 12-year old what's going on, here.There are also a small number of regulars who regularly tell losing players in the Beginner's forum, "just stop blundering" and "anyone can make it to 1500 if you just stop blundering" which is another chess.com lie. Who are these four regulars who keep saying the same thing to newbies over and over, instead of telling the truth?TL;DR avoid this dirty site. It's a cheater's paradise run by frauds.
