I just wanted to send my thanks and gratitude to all of you for the hard work, time, effort, and desire to make this the best chess site on the Internet.  As with change there will always be issues, bugs, etc.  Eric was kind enough to allow me to be a beta tester for live chess, and i hope that in some small way i was part of making this site even better.  

Again i want to say that i appreciate the efforts of the entire staff.  

God Bless,

Mike 

AMEN to that!!

what is up with the huge taken pieces in the details section?

What all the complainers are failing to realize is how much smoother the Live chess games are now. (when the server is up)  They are almost in real-time, no more multiple seconds of lag between each move.  It's gonna be great when all the bugs are sorted out.  Thanks Erik.
