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 ยฃ170 a year...

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

You get what you pay for in this world. Shouldn't you be fighting Russians instead of complaining about membership plan pricing?

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.

no its like going to a french restaurant that costs ยฃ50 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)

Studyโ€™s are the equivalent of lessons btw, and they are annotated
