New premium subscriptions are on pause

In the interest of transparency: RiaChess has paused new premium subscriptions. The goal is simple, only charge for a subscription once the content and support behind it are genuinely worth it.

Concretely, that means finishing the academy's own proprietary content (lessons, articles, exercises) and completing the coaching team before reopening subscriptions.

Members who are already subscribed are not affected at all: live coaching and internal tournaments continue as normal, and the subscription can still be managed at any time from the member area.

In the meantime, free account creation remains open, with full access to interactive lessons, articles, and the daily puzzle.
