@the-grifter saidI have twenty dollars.
my subscription at gameknot expires in about ten days..
should I spend money there or here or pay nothing a lichess ?
lichess does not have any holiday time and many of the lower players like myself take games then do not play an thus create false ratings for myslef.
I would never play under a false rating.
chess.com has ugly boards.
should I wander the int ...[text shortened]... with the ugliness but still yet spend money here ?
I have twenty dollars.
how should I spend

I suggest Chess Tactics for Champions by G.M. Susan Polgar. Starting with the simplest tactical themes, you'll progress to more complex variations. If you want to become a stronger player, this book, a physical chess set, and some concentrated study is all you need to get beyond that 1000 rating hurdle. 🙂

@the-grifter removed their quoted postWhy subscribe to multiple sites; what is wrong with this site that you subscribe to?
Per your bio
"i just want to be left alone with my books, my cat, my unwashed dishes and my chess. no conversation within the game please"
I would suggest you go and play against a computer, or maybe with yourself

@the-grifter removed their quoted postWell I certainly wouldn’t pay a subscription and not play chess here like @mchill does, that’s a real waste of money.
