I think one annoying feature of the chess.com live server is how the board updates/refreshes to bring up the latest position every time a move is made. Of course the board has to record the move and move the piece, but I think that the latest position should not be brought up to any observers who are going through previous moves. It should, however, of course be brought up to observers who are up-to-date on moves.
The feature of updating the board to the latest position in all situations makes it nearly impossible for an observer of a blitz or bullet game (statistically the most viewed live chess games online) to go back through the first moves of the game if they did not see them.
Anyhow, I would love to hear other peoples' thoughts on the subject of features to remove/fix/add. Thank you for your time and valuable insight should you chose to post.
I think it is too late to add features for V3. V3 was supposed to be launched in June and its release has already been delayed once. Since the last announcement said it would be released in August, we are all expecting a new delay announcement any day now. Still, we are hopeful for major improvements and understand that these things can be complicated.
I assume you have already read the chess.com blog about it- http://www.chess.com/blog/webmaster/a-new-chesscom-is-coming-soon
