I play a lot of chess online, and it used to be good fun. But lately, most chess websites such as Lichess, Chess.com Gameknot and Playchess.com are being run by a bunch of control freaks. When you play at these sites, I learned that you are not playing actual players, but rather a bot or the owners of the sites that are purposely making stupid moves. (sic) They do this to try and trick you get to become a member and pay for a membership. This is deceptive and really unfair for people who can't afford it. Also, it does a diservice to the game itself. You would think that they would want to promote the game for all, but for them it's just about the money. I guess they think people are stupid. But it just goes to show how stupid they are, because players like me will gradually stop playing at their websites and they will eventually become a cyber bot wasteland. It's mentally sadistic and truly sad for the game of chess.

Further, I want to thank sitejabber for giving people like myself the chance to vent their anger and frustration, as well as exposing the fraudulent behavior of these sites.
