No it’s not, the only advantage it has over platinum is unlimited lessons compared to 5 a week.

Unless you want to pay double for lessons

$100/yr is steep.  Try doing it on a monthly basis and see if you like it.

monthly is more expensive technically, because its $15 a month, so if you're going to do monthly, only do a few months.

I believe you also get unlimited puzzles and unlimited game reports, as well as full access to the opening explorer. I dont have any "membership" though so you'd have to ask someone else if it's worth it

platinum is worth it.

It depends on where you're at and what you're looking to get out of it. Are you a puzzle addict? Would you prefer to have unlimited access to the training videos and everything else, or are you good enough without them? I guess what I'm asking is, how seriously are you looking to use the training materials?

 

For me, it has been worth it. I do several puzzles every day and I prefer doing the training without having to wait, when I get the itch.

There's no reason to have a diamond membership, in general. Almost everything you get with a diamond membership you can get else. For example, you can download your pgns and run them through stockfish on your phone. 

You pay for the convenience. 

Some of the videos are really good, some of them are beyond garbage.

Maybe, but chess.com also has an aesthetic that some people might like.

Convenience is worth the Diamond membership as well as other VIP offers elsewhere. If one can afford, It;s best to have convenience.

A Diamond is a girl's best friend . . . or so I'm told.

Somewhere shines a diamond
Within the cold, grey stone
Silently it slumbers
Set deep and yet unknown

Hidden there in secret
Concealed from mortal sight
Glist`ning in the shading
A dazzling shining light

Somewhere full enshrouded
A glinting speck of gold
Waits to be uncovered
So lovely to behold
