And some people may just make an error say they think this move would be a response to this move but it's wrong.
WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO PUT LINKS (and pics) IN OUR GROUP PROFILE!!
And all group team matches & vote matches should be accessable to anyone browsing a group just as all a player's games are accessable to another player viewing that players.
I would like to see a list of all vote chess games currently being played by me, similar to the list of online chess games (shows which vote chess games it's my move in, how much time is remaining...)
It would just make vote chess a lot more accessible. Currently the feature is buried fairly deep within the site, and the only thing I have telling me about my ongoing vote chess games is the alerts system. So whenever I want to check up on a game, I always have to do a little digging.
It's not a terribly important feature, and I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but I thought I'd bring it up.
it is already said!!!
Also, to add to my "annotate your game" tab idea (well, not really my idea, one suggested by a member in the last thread that I've extrapolated on), it would be super-duper awesome if, when you saved your game as PGN, it would add all your annotations to the PGN file!!
In the extended stats we have separate winning percentage for tournament games. It would be fun to have the same for team games also.
Unread topics or posts, facilitate the browsing of pages of posts.
Suggestions:
1. A box next to each post where one can check the post and have a delete button at the bottom of each page to remove. Much faster than opening a windows for each post to remove from the unread posts.
2. When many posts have been added to any forum, show only the most recent post, removing the necessity to open all the other posts on the forum. In other words, when an additional post is added then the previous post(s) are automatically removed.
I believe that we all need some help to maintain our unread topics up to date.
Please consider.
Thank you
These are really good additions to the wishlist! I would pay for the diamond membership for these!
I really want the ability to play different chess variants.
I have a specific set of advanced options I select every time I start a new game - rating range, minimum games played, timeout %, play speed. It would be more convenient if i could save them as my default options and simply click start new game.
I would like the ability to use the analysis board to explore different lines. The "what if" option. now if I go back a few moves I can only analyze my game as it is and not how it would've gone differently if I did this or that etc.
I second this. And I would like to add to it, the option to do so live, with another person; ie set up a board in any postion, then play out possible lines - either both controlled or single controlled, but live so both could see it. And go back, and try different lines. This could be a great teaching tool, I think.
Tournament options by the TD to ban vacations.
TD power to eliminate deadbeats that are out of the hunt in large tournaments.
Tell me more, Tactics Trainer home-page!
How many puzzles have I done today, this week, this month? For each interval, what was my pass:fail ratio?
Cheers!
Isn't this (sort of) possible if you turn off "Enforce legal moves"? I don't think it works if you use the VCR-style controls to back up to your branch-point, but I *think* it would work if you manually move each piece back to the point where you want to explore the different line (?).
I wish we could search in an individual forum thread.
In the game explorer "Other players' games" only allows you to access one player's games at a time. It would be interested if they were summarised and presented like the master games are.
Can I once again plug the idea of a formal chess.com ladder? There is at least one that I'm aware of that's being administered manually, much as the tournaments were in the days before that functionality was added to this site.
I also have a long mobile chess wishlist that includes the following:
I think that these would nicely round out the mobile functionality to the point that it could be considered a fully-functional standalone mobile chess application. For anything else I can come to the site itself.
Speaking of the site itself, it would also be great if www.chess.com/mobile was actually set up to expose more of the site's non-game content to a mobile device with some targetted formatting (Basically forums and articles including the embedded game boards if possible etc.). As a really combersome workaround I've gone to chess.com itself on my blackberry and dealt with the fact that it's not at all formatted for the tiny screen, but all I can do is struggle to find the content I'm after in a read only format since I can't even log in.
Yes, I'm that addicted....
Bungle, they choose not to use Game Explorer in live chess since it is supposed to mimic live OTB play (unlike Chess.com's correspondence chess).
Right on - using Explorer in Live Chess would be downright illegal, effectively breaking the no-databases rule.
It would be really nice, however, if you could link directly to Explorer from a given position in a correspondence-style game. As far as I'm concerned, the existing FEN string on the Details tab could be used as (or replaced with) a hyper-link to Explorer.
