Another "old fashioned" idea that my father (who will be 80 next week) and I were discussing at lunch today: "right the first time".

There's nothing wrong with old fashioned, especially when half of the the alleged chess teachers on this site cannot produce a single clear sentence.

I like it, it's very 1955ish, like hanging out at the Eden Roc on Miami Beach with Desi and Lucy Arnaz.

Why not just call it Online Chess? End of.

Because every single type of chess offered by chess.com could be referred to as online chess.  It's ambiguous.  End of.

Nimoy Chess in honor of Lenoard.

I would have no problem calling it Nimoy Chess. Though, 3D chess might be more fittingly called Nimoy chess.

"Flexible Chess!"  "Accessible Chess!"  "The People's Chess!"

How about these?  "Chess, Chess, and More Chess!"  "Chess When You Want It!"  "Chess All the Time -- 24 Hour Chess!"

This forum has been out for 3 years... I doubt they're ever going to change the name.

Technically speaking, all chess played on chess.com is on line chess.

Technical chess works for me.

The name has been changed to "Daily Chess." It's a stupid name. But, as H. Nakamura likes to say, "it is what it is."

PossibleOatmeal

It's a mile better than "Online Chess," but still incredibly stupid to invent a new name for it.

DrSpudnik

When I hover the cursor over "PLAY" the box drops down and it still calls it "Online Chess"

Where has the name changed?
