I enjoy the many features chess.com has provided on our profile pages. One of my favorites is the "Best Win". I enjoy reviewing the best win game my friends have had and want to share with others mine. Call it pride or bragging or just excitement. However there is a small glitch that needs to be remedied: Time Out wins.
I am currently about to win a game that was well played against an opponent who is 200+ points higher than me and I am very proud of how I won the game. In fact it was the Queen sac I learned to look for from the daily puzzles on chess.com. This will in fact be my best win...but...
In a previous tournament I was matched against a very high rated opponent who made two moves 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 Caro Kann opening....and then...decided not to play and let it time out. Sadly I received the "win" and it is now my "best win". Really? My Best Win? He is so high rated I may never have a real Best Win against a higher rated opponent to remove this. Ugh.
Is there a way for Chess.com to allow us to choose our Best Win? OR is there a way in the algorithem to require a minimum number of moves to occur for a time out win to qualify as a best win?
I know this feature is probably the least of their concerns but in my experience it's the little details that make the larger whole a great success. Small details like this are what make Chess.com so great. I've been using Fritz, playchess.com, and chessbase products for years; but it's these social network qualities that make chess.com more fun and enjoyable.
