Worth it if any of these are what you want to do.

YES!....the lessons are great and absolutely worth the $, they ideas come explanations and not just a move list.......before Chess.com I read chess books and Jeremy Silman was my favorite author as he explained the ideas behind everything. I own all of his books. If you play well and see alot of end games, having a good understanding of just end game basics such as philidor/lucena position and how to draw a position will seriously put you in another echelon

I just got it 2 minutes ago! In my mind I literally use it every single day and always wanna analyse more games than I can AND I'd love access to more puzzles and stuff so felt worth it for something I've used and wished for for a couple years now 😊

Yes, it is for me. I use the side every day without a single thought about how many tactics I´ve left for today or "would like to learn this lesson/video, but are not allowed to do so" or something like that. If you are really interested in learning it´s the best thing you can do. If you come here just sometimes and mainly would like to play it´s just a waste of money. It depends on your goals.


Not really. Now they want an extra $15 to be "verified."
that´s not really true! Up to know this verification thing did not exist, so nobody could get verified and ok. Now it´s existing and who WANT can be verified. I don´t want, so no extra pay at all. It´s your decision! Nothing to complain about.

IF you fork out an extra $15. What I said is entirely true.
I am a beginner player, but I have been playing chess my entire life. I have been wanting to improve as a player. Is a premium membership worth it?
