Cool!
@ #2: I still have the Diamond running over at Chess.com simply because of a) chess mentor and b) the ~18k players logged into live chess at times. There's really no way to not ever get the kind of game you want and they have a lot of leagues and teams.
That said, I have chess.com, ICC, FIDE Online Arena, FICS, and this is by far my favorite chess site. I just wish you guys would stop, for the love of God, referring to 5+5 and 8+0 games as "classical". Please do what every other online site does and start "standard" with at least 15 minutes as a primary time control.

Comments from an (allegedly) better bullet player but way worse classical. Beware of my blunders :D
I would have played 13. Nd5 Qd8 14. Bg7 and it seems to me black is in a lot of trouble, with half his pieces blocked
Nice games, especially how you salvaged the draw in a bad position. I'd probably have gone for the pawns on the kingside and lose :)

Regarding my #4:
After playing a few more games here and really exploring everything you guys are working on (and already have included) I am going to go ahead and cancel that Chess.com Diamond before I get charged again. ICC and ChessTempo are a few bucks a month now and with Lichess out here, I can't really think of one legitimate reason to pay $14/month for Chess.com's Diamond. Even if you buy the whole year it's $99. Once again, with Lichess the way it is at this point, it almost overemphasizes how outrageously priced Chess.com really is.
