Well, in case you really don&#8217;t know the largest online chess website, let me give you a brief breakdown. Chess.com is a popular (i. e. the largest) online platform for playing and learning chess, with a large community of players across all skill levels. In addition to their free accounts, they offer paid membership tiers that grant you more on-site functionality and ways to improve your chess. In this review, we&#8217;ll explore the benefits (and drawbacks) of each different membership level and whether it is worth the cost or not.

Nothing probably. Luckily, the largest chess website does actually offer you a way to play chess against other people (wow!).<\/p>\n<p>All in all, Chess.com offers a comprehensive and enjoyable experience for playing chess online.

Those lessons cover (almost) everything from the absolute <a href=\"https:\/\/chessily.com\/learn-chess\/\">chess basics<\/a> to advanced tactics and strategies, all neatly organised. There are classic video lessons, interactive exercises, an opening explorer, a endgame-section and other quizzes to help you learn and test your understanding of chess.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here is an overview of the article\/video lessons on Chess.com:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2736\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2736\" style=\"width: 652px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2736\" src=\"https:\/\/chessily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/chess.com-lessons-overview.png\" alt=\"An Overview of Lessons Available on Chess.com\" width=\"662\" height=\"874\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chessily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/chess.com-lessons-overview.png 662w, https:\/\/chessily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/chess.com-lessons-overview-227x300.png 227w, https:\/\/chessily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/chess.com-lessons-overview-38x50.png 38w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 662px) 100vw, 662px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2736\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An Overview of Lessons Available on Chess.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The lessons themselves vary widely in terms of quality. Some are simply puzzles that want you to find moves that a certain GM played in a prestigious match, others are very good and exhaustive lessons on chess openings or general concepts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Generally, I found lessons on complete openings to be very good, while &#8220;play like this GM&#8221;-style lessons are lacking severly in both quantity of content and quality.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Puzzles<\/h2>\n<p>Finally, Chess.com also offers a variety of puzzles:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rated Puzzles<\/li>\n<li>Puzzle Rush<\/li>\n<li>Puzzle Battle<\/li>\n<li>Custom Puzzles<\/li>\n<li>Daily Puzzle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Rated puzzles <\/strong>are just what they imply.

Each of the over 500.000 puzzle itself has a rating according to its difficulty, so you&#8217;ll always be matched up against a challenging puzzle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Puzzle Rush\u00a0<\/strong>is a timed puzzle format in which you have to solve as many puzzles as possible in a timeframe of either 3 or 5 minutes. Get three puzzles wrong and you&#8217;re out!

If you&#8217;re able to solve more puzzles than your opponent, you win the battle!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Custom Puzzles\u00a0<\/strong>allow you to improve certain areas of your chess.

If you&#8217;re willing to pay the money for the extra functionality, I highly doubt you will be disappointed. Of course, one can criticize the limited features in the free version, but I feel like that wouldn&#8217;t be fair. Chess.com is a for-profit organisation and we should judge it on the product it sells. Everything else (i. e. the free version) is a bonus. However, there is one little caveat (aka. Lichess), I have to talk about though!<\/p>\n<h2>Thin Lesson Content<\/h2>\n<p>I already mentioned this point when talking about Chess.com Lessons, but I feel like they are not very high quality overall. Sure, there are some gems in-between, but overall the product doesn&#8217;t seem rounded and craves for more attention from the Chess.com team.<\/p>\n<h2>Ads in the Free Version<\/h2>\n<p>I know, the internet runs on ads. Here at Chessily, I&#8217;ve had my own fair share of problems financing the servers (which is why we now have affiliate links in our review posts). But for a company that charges its premium users a monthly fee, I feel like it should be possible to cover the costs and create enough net income without displaying ads.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this is also an incentive to upgrade your membership, but for me it mainly makes the free version of Chess.com feel a bit cheap and doesn&#8217;t do it justice. Especially since Lichess is completely ad-free (and 100% free to use for that matter).<\/p>\n<h2>Lichess as a Competitior<\/h2>\n<p>Now let&#8217;s adress the elephant in the room: <strong>Chess.com vs. Lichess! <\/strong>I know what you&#8217;re thinking: &#8220;Doesn&#8217;t Lichess offer everything Chess.com does, but for free?&#8221;. I can see where this is coming from, but I personally hold a more nuanced stance. Let me explain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yes, if you just want to play chess and solve puzzles to improve your chess, Chess.com is probably not worth it for you<\/strong> (unless you really like the design more).<\/p>\n<p>However, for me, Chess.com does a way better job of embracing the online chess community, be that the regular titled events or their close relationship with almost all big chess streamers. If you&#8217;re involved in the online chess community, I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll feel more at home at Chess.com<\/p>\n<p>Also, I believe that the recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chess.com\/news\/view\/chesscom-acquires-pmg?ref_id=222573307\">acquisition of the Playmagnus Group<\/a>* will greatly increase the value of a Chess.com Membership compared to Lichess going forward. But more on that in the conclusion.<\/p>\n<h1>Time to Judge: Is a Chess.com Premium Membership Worth It?<\/h1>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#e5e5e5;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;\">\n<h3><strong>Chessily Review Score:\u00a0<\/strong>Chess.com Premium Membership<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>User Expierence:<\/strong> 5\/5<\/li>\n<li><strong>Value For Money:<\/strong> 4\/5<\/li>\n<li><strong>Community Reviews:<\/strong> 4.5\/5<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Overall, Chess.com Premium receives 4.5 out of 5 possible points in our <a href=\"\/review\">Chessily Review<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>A quick note on the Chessily Review Score: <\/strong>For Chess.com Premium Memberships, I created an average of the Gold, Platinum and Diamond Membership. In reality, the Gold Membership should have a slighter higher Chessily Review Score, while the Platinum Subscription ranks a bit lower (see the part on each membership tier above).<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I feel very comfortable recommending a Chess.com Premium Membership subscription. The value you get for your money (especially if you&#8217;re a regular online player) is impressive and barely comparable to any other chess site.<\/p>\n<p><strong>However, be sure to evaluate your needs carefully:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you want to most bang for your buck, go for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chess.com\/membership?ref_id=222573307\">Gold Membership<\/a>*.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chess.com\/membership?ref_id=222573307\">Platinum Membership<\/a>* in most cases.<\/li>\n<li>If you&#8217;re a very serious player and have the money to spare, opt for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chess.com\/membership?ref_id=222573307\">Diamond Membership<\/a>*.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Especially with the acquisition of the PlayMagnus Group, I believe a Chess.com Premium Membership is absolutely worth it! I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll see a better integration of Chess.com accounts with PlayMagnus services like <a href=\"https:\/\/chessily.com\/review\/aimchess-review-is-the-ai-tool-actually-worth-it\/\">Aimchess<\/a> or Chessable, as well as better coordinated and more tournaments at the top level.
