I hate to ask this, but we're putting together a little advertisement and I'd love to have a testimonial or two in there. So, if you like Chess.com, I'd love to know why! Did it help your chess? Is it fun? What keeps you coming back? Did premium membership help you enjoy Chess.com more?

Keep it between 15 and 30 words if you could :) And include your first name and where you are from, and your job role if you feel comfortable doing so. 

Thanks! :D

I am Timothy, I am a pharmacist from the United States.

I like chess.com because I love the game, but even more important to me I love the forums and the friendships. I love being able to discuss just about anything with people from around the world.

I think that in many respects the members you have accumulated are not only intelligent but diverse. 

I love bouncing ideas around with people on your site.

I'm on disability and I have a lot of free time. I prefer to spend it  on chess.com. I could never find enough people to play this much chess with over-the-board. i like playing people from all over the world. Eddie, Chicago, U.S.A.

"Chess.com helped me to win My first tournament and several since"

You can use that as I better at OTB than online but it has helped me so much and even helped me win a tournament this evening

My name is Sharon. I am a bartender/waitress.

Chess.com is quite a lot of fun for me! The turn-based chess is the best of any site I've played at! And the forums are endlessly informative and bizarre!

Chess.com helps me lose weight, fight halitosis and gives my whites a unique blue-whiteness.

I'm Gert-Jan, a student from the Netherlands. I like chess.com because here you can practise against other beginners and at the same website read articles from chess professionals. Where is it possible that a Dutch chess player get his game analysed by a chess player from Finland? At chess.com it is.

My name is David and I'm a chessaholic. Chess.com suits me just fine because, here in cyberspace, they've assembled the friendliest bunch of chessaholics it's been my good fortune to meet. I may never kick the habit but, in company like this, I don't want to.

Chess.com me permet de me détendre et d'échanger avec d'autres passionés du jeu d'échecs. Laurent, consultant en management.

After a decade of trying other chess sites, and 20yrs trying to improve my OTB rating, I decided to give chess.com a try. 2 and a half yrs later and I have acheived my highest ever OTB rating rising from 130 ish ECF to 175 ECF.

With the livechess, the turnbased chess, the lively forums and the community feel, Chess.com for me is the best out there! I need'nt look anywhere else now as i've found my chess home.

chess.com is sexy :)

After trying different chess sites, i found chess.com to best the best run chess site on the web.  No better deal on the web, and memberships to suit any budget.

Don't ad people normally get paid quite much? :P

ok.. anyway, here it comes:

the good thing about chess,com is that it's not only a site to play chess, but it's also a great chess community which helps you improve very fast. and I am here :D

Best interactive chess site on the internet.  With resources from reading to videos to help everyone improve their game.  Memberships are very reasonable for all the enjoyment you get from this site.

Eric (with a 'c' ), Software Executive, Orlando FL

"Chess.com is an excellent extended Internet venue for chess players who's can't make it to chess clubs meetings as well as chess tournaments within community they live in. Here we can join various groups with common interest, play in individual tournaments, as well as team matches and various types of team events that brings chess players together not just from our own community but an international community. Here we get to play FIDE, GM's, master as well as new prodigy's of chess and beginners! So we have ample opportunity to improve as well as teach and share idea's (both about chess and other topic's) that otherwise we would never have had an opportunity to do so."

I joined in 2008 or was it 2009? I forgot but it has been a long time since I joined chess.com. This is a really great place to play chess. This is the only site I play chess on. You don't have to play chess here. You can make groups and invite members or talk to your buddies here. Chess.com is a great place and I am still playing it.

It was November, 2008
