Some time ago this place was in permanent improvement and evolution. But right now I can't remember last addition to the site. What are chess.com staff working at?

V3.

V3. ??

pdela

Long ago I've hearing V3 was coming.

Yet it seems it is not here neither I know what it is. It sounds like when a pokemon evolves

All the really cool Diamond members are playing V3 while the rest of us reflect on its' coming goodness...(and wonder why we weren't among the chosenEmbarassedLaughing)

I just noticed that the v3 demo screen-shots feature a famous politician of our days:

...and that he happens to have a quite high rating:

So is Mr Vladimir Putin actually on chess.com?

Putin has no time for chess.He is too busy initiating real life war games by invading sovereign borders.He might soon be in for a bit of a spanking.

Also you can see that Mr. Putin has captured 4 pawns, 2 bishops, 2 knights, a rook and a queen despite of the board being in the initial position. Mr. Putin is the new Chuck Norris!

I'd use 'playing v3' lightly, most of the chess.com features are currently disabled. It is quite beautiful, though.

"Also you can see that Mr. Putin has captured 4 pawns, 2 bishops, 2 knights, a rook and a queen despite of the board being in the initial position. Mr. Putin is the new Chuck Norris!"

Those bishops have not been captured, they are vacationing in Russia.  The rook, despite appearing to be captured, is actually voluntarily sight seeing in Siberia.  This is not actually chess, this is checkers, as anyone can see.  Stop all this capitalist propaganda...

              Putin wouldn't qualify to be a member on chess.com. You have to have a moral spine.       Hey Baddogno;  It wasn't anything personal, I think Erik just took the 1st 15 diamond members. I'm one of them, but what the hell do I know about beta testing?  I need 3 maps and a video to navigate. If you want, you can have my membership in that group. Tell Erik I said it was OK to push me out, and you can take my place. IDM really. I gotta get back to my drums and post less.  6 days--0 cigs.Laughing

As far as I know, only Chuck Norris is capable of having so much material prior to the beginning of the game.

No thanks Ron.  I was in the last Beta testing group and as clueless as you are now.  It's like their own language, I don't speak it and I'm too old to learn.  Nope, I'll wait until the rollout.  Awfully nice of you to offer though.
