The point of the free trial is to let you sample the thousands of things that Chess.com employees have built over the years.

It is hoped that if you enjoyed some of them, that you would consider buying a membership.

My main problems with the paywall is it requires you to pay large amounts of money just to use a majority of the features such as the puzzle and game reviews.

Wintrcat's review is kind of hit-or-miss. I've seen the following things from it:

- It marked a move by my opponent as a blunder...and then said the best move was the exact same move that he played. I've seen this several times.

- It marked an inaccuracy as a brilliant move

- It marked a totally normal and obvious move, moving a piece out of danger and not doing anything special, as "brilliant"

- It marked an actual brilliant move as the "best" and nothing more

- On several occasions, I've had it say that the "best move" was a move that is literally not possible to do

- It's consistently way off with accuracy. It may say both players had around 85% when the actual accuracy amounts were more like 60%.

It's good because it's free, but it's hardly reliable.

It's not "large" amounts of money. The main feature anyone uses is playing chess: anything else is an extra that you can try and see if you want to pay for it, and if not, then that's your right - no-one is forcing you.
