I'll be summarizing the previous list (found here) and then presenting the findings here. 

In the meantime, suggestions welcomed :)

We have been a little slower to respond to the suggestions lately as we focus on Live Chess and iPhone.

Thank you!

Again? So, you're re-summarising the summary? Can we see the list that was reached in the 5th version of the thread?

Erik, yo.

Here are two ideas:

1.  In almost any page, we are shown an alert update of "My Move" games. Is it possible to have that alert, too, on the pages where we are playing a certain game?

2.  Regarding our individual ongoing games list where the games are arranged per "the least number of days left", can there be an option button where we can arrange them per our need? For example, "rated games first", "tournament games first", among others.

Thanks.  Smile

Chess 950

- fix the castling in the position/game tool.

- add team matches

- add 960 vote chess

 

I'm really enjoying this variant. IMO it's a very worthwhile and enjoyable to play.

I totally agree that it would be cool if there was a way to "castle" correctly when we post a game. I've been preparing an annotated 960 game I plan on posting later tonight and I have to split it into 2 on the castling turn. Not that big a deal, depending on how easy of a fix it would be.

I also wonder if there was a way (though this has a scope larger than anything chess.com can fix) for pgn's to include the change in starting position... probably not?

Also: I love love love 960 and I'm so glad it's on the site.

I made a thread requesting it back in February of 2008.

I guess good things come to those who wait.

Thanks again Erik et al!

Anyone can summarize , I have done so.

But without a lack of guidance, criteria, which means what a person is looking for and how it should be presented, the format in other words, it is not possible not only to summarize the way that is expected but also how to submit the results.

What is needed is :

1. A format and categories to classify the suggestions with a number of times on how often a sugestion has been made as expected by the person that wants  to be helped.

2. If ad lib to summarize than at least basic criteria should be given to avoid a re-summarization as the table suggested is or may not be adequate.

 

2.

Not really, it is very difficult to teach an old dog new tricks, this is what everyone says, now try to teach a young dog or puppy a new trick, you will understand how difficult it is.

Perhaps Erik can teach you how to show him a little respect in return.
