You don't need intelligence to succeed at chess, you need experience. I consider myself an unintelligent person/more anti-intellectual, and I'm somehow 1600. It's mostly because of how long I've been playing.
True, and conversely, I'm a 150 IQ mega genius (real) but I'm not a super GM
Chess.com is the best chess site ever, and everyone loves it. If you don't love it that's cus you're not a nice person. So what if every week we have to hear news about their most recent cash gr- I mean partnership? So what if we're a year away from pay to play? So what if a lot of the resources here aren't much better than L*chess despite being hidden behind a paywall (GM lessons barely being the exception)? So what if there's a new bug every week, except when there's reruns? So what if there's so many new bots, which don't add much to the chess experience and have little to know difference in style except dialogue and how spectacularly they can blunder a piece? So what? What matters most is that Chess Stuart Jameson Com Jr is the biggest bestest chess site and you can't tell me otherwise.
Though I'll admit that the duolingo partnership isn't half bad. I do wish they could've written "10 ways chess is like dealing with a crazy bird that has taken your family hostage until you can negotiate the ransom in Spanish," but we can't have everything we want.
Also the move variations update isn't horrible.
