These facilities, naturally, would have to be reserved for paying customers -(before anyone points out that free-loading visitors always want more for nothing!)

It should be possible for everyone implement this locally ON THEIR OWN computer. The chess.com window title changes from:
- My Online Chess - Chess.com (assuming you've clicked on PLAY -> Online Chess) to
- xyz vs artfizz - Online Chess - Chess.com - when you're viewing a game, but it's not your move. Then to
- MY MOVE! - xyz vz artfizz - Chess.com - when it's your move on that game.
Using a scripting tool (e.g. AutoIt) that can detect window titles, play a .WAV file (usingSound Recorder) when a browser window (or browser tab) is detected that begins with "MY MOVE!".

I've got this working in a basic form - to notify you at least one game is waiting. I'm using THIS .WAV file ... from Star Trek, where Dr. Crusher says: "Back to square one."

Ironically, using a single spoken statement for frequently occurring events turns out to be more tedious than using a simple sound. I'm going to switch to using a random selection of phrases.

I keep my ipod on by my computer - the chess.com app makes a sound whenever I have a move. Or new facebook update/email, but hey.

Indeed, there is a 'thud' sound alert for moves - which I have supplemented with a .WAV file. However, there is no audible alert for topics which you are monitoring.
I would like a voice telling me which is the best move.....

..it mumbles too much.
Well Paul, most people prefer to have A CHOICE in such matters. You can always turn sounds off if it bothers you.
Are there any plans to allow customisation of the alert sounds for turn-based chess? I would find it helpful to have the option of distinct voice messages:
a) "it's your move", "you've been challenged", etc.
b) ideally, customisable at the PC, in the same way as Sound Themes for Windows.
Just an idea...
