about the 'new sounds' - - classic FAIL.
many of the features of this once chess oriented site were recently changed. Personally, I do not like many of the changes, but am not considering moving elsewhere as this site beats yahoochess and many other sites all to heck.
now, it seems to be somewhat more 'facebook-crowd-oriented' and less about chess.
change is going to happen, however, not all changes are viewed as 'improvements' by a lot of the users - it would seem (from the comments here).
maybe they will add options to select the features many users liked in the previous edition.
personal opinion only above.
Who the hell is the programmar who made these sounds? There seems to be some ulterior motive. He/She might want to tarnish the image of chess.com. Please re-install the old sounds.
