Why not be a sub?
Non subs are considered sub standard on this site. The standard of subs are much higher.
If you are a sub then you'll have tons of tournaments.
I don't consider non-subs sub. Sorry, cant help with the answer though.

Some people don't want to pay the specific amount for this specific service. Just get used to that.
Cut them some slack. I think its great that RHP allows people to play without paying and we should encourage people to play not make them feel badly for not being able to float the cash to do so.

there are some chesswebs where non-subs can participate in tournaments, this site seems to create a kind of 'racism' against non-subs
(1) I can start as many new games as I want, not only 6 parallell ones. Some non-subs want to have more than their 6 alotted games. If there were no limits for the non-subs, then I don't have the reason to pay my fee.
(2) I can participate in tournaments. Some subs want to participate subs too. If tournaments were free to enter for non-subs then I don't have the reason to pay my fee.
Other reasons for me to be a subscriber is clans and sieges, and not having ads in my screen. If non-subs get the same rights as subs to enter turnies, starting new games, etc, then I don't want to pay my fee, i get it anywhere.
This is not 'racism', not even kind of 'racism'. I think RHP are more than generous to let non-subs play for free, their 6 games and occational non-sub tournament.
