Why premium account so expensive?

At least must be regional price. For that money (IN 1 YEAR!) i could buy couple games.

Omg I just checked and didn't realise it was so expensive. Diamond membership is £170 a year...

How are people paying this when a diamond membership on chess.com is worse than getting lichess for free.

Shouldn't you be invading some middle eastern country for oil instead of commenting here?

my point exactly too much money for what you get and its just out of the range of lower rated players who play for fun ---- make it more affordable more will join---

#8 OP isn't British. I suggest you follow more closely if you're going to troll. You make yourself look silly.

The high cost of premium chess accounts reflects the extensive features, expert content, and maintenance required, though implementing regional pricing could make these services more accessible worldwide.

If you run a website like this + app you’ll know what it costs to keep it running 😅

It’s like you go a high end restaurant and wonder why everything can’t be free lol

no its like going to a french restaurant that costs £50 when theres a turkish restaurant thats free across the road

(chess.com is the french restaurant and lichess is the turkish restaurant because french food sucks and turkish food is nice)

Premium is expensive but very good. @chesssblackbelt, where do you get insights on Lichess? Where? Where do you get lessons on lichess? Where? Lichess sucks. Its only advantage is that you can play 30|20 games.

Study’s are the equivalent of lessons btw, and they are annotated
