Are there any other players out there as dissapointed as me with some of the changes to chess.com lately eg, chat has now swopped for moves as default or has been confused by it.

I think it's clearly better this way, even for chat -- now you can see immediately that your opponent said something.

Nobody likes change, and nobody can avoid it.

Change at Chess.com is a lot like Life itself:  you either live it, or live with it.

Changes you say?

Yes, I dislike the change very much.

if it aint broke don't fix it

In the end....Don't we just want to play chess ?

in the end is it not good to comunicate lucidly with like minded people, if not why not just purchase a computer game

If you want things to remain the same, things will have to change. :)

Somehow I'm starting to get the feeling chess.com just changed it to torture people.

Ch-ch-ch-changes.

or play on move people over to face book and mobiles, on mobiles there is no

chat I have been informed

is this another of your spoonarisms Martin, with the amount of blog you do I would have thought you against changing the chat default, as I recall we used too chat shallot

Perhaps we should organize a major protest against Chess.com for forcing us to actually click a mouse once to do what we used to do without that click.

Because, doggone it all, we're busy people and time is money.  Who has time to be clicking their mouse once per game?

It is outrageous they should impose such onerous conditions - are we all to be common laborers, clicking away for the amusement of the Chess.com masters? 

[here is where we really really really need a "rolling eyes" smiley]

you guys need to take the chill pill here and start reading "Who Moved My Cheese?"

doesn't meebo work here, you can use that !

Who cut the cheese? :)

 is a book called "Who Move My Cheese?" is about embracing the change in your life, work etc.
