New sounds in Live chess?

Sort:
Dragonbice

Hi there!

I play live chess on chess.com every day and today I noticed that the sounds played when moving pieces/checking the king/checkmating etc. weren't the same as yesterday. Therefore, I need to ask two questions:

1. Is this just me (probably not)?

2. If this is not just me: "Dear chess.com, why do you make these types of changes?"

It might seem a petty problem, but it really distracted me when playing fast games, like 1 min to 5 min games. I'll get used to it, I'm sure, but for a while it'll bother me, distracting me from the game. It's just that there seems to be no apparent improvement made with this change, one way or the other isn't really aesthetically nicer either, so maybe just refrain from remaking such things is a good idea?

Of course, if no one else feel a bit bugged by this, like I do, then, you know, whatever...

So, "DOES anyone else feel annoyed by the new sounds?"

Regards, Dragonbice

FWIW...

I don't care for the new sounds either.

Not only am I having problems with the new sounds during games. But also I cant seem to see the chat rooms in live chess. I want to know is it just me that cant see them or did they get rid of them thanks.

They at least should have provided an option so we could bring old sounds back.
