Chess.com Dev Update: April 14, 2017
Hey Chess.com!
The last couple weeks have been focused on back-end improvements in order to make Chess.com on the whole a smoother experience for all members 
However, we did release some cool new features and fixed a lot of bugs!
Chess.com Main Site
- All diagrams games have the option to see computer analysis right inside the board!
- Are you a tournament director junkie? Well, tournaments just more than doubled in size! Platinum and Diamond members can now create tournaments with up to 250 members!
- We added additional symbols for the Analysis Board allowing for more nuanced notation:
- Be honest, are you doing the Drills you know you ought to be? If not, now is a great time to start! We gave the computer a full face-lift greatly increasing its speed!

Live Chess
- Safari users have had a rough go lately 
- We're certainly going to miss Simon's glee for auto promotion faux pas's but now you can temporarily disable auto-queen-promotion by holding ALT as you promote a pawn allowing you to choose another piece!
- Ever tried to make the same move over and over again not realizing it was illegal? I have... Now, your king will flash letting you know!
- Are you a streamer? Well, we have some cool stuff in store for you!
- You can now draw arrows during your game! Just right click and drag just as with the analysis boards!
- Speaking of analysis boards, you have more control over the player information displayed with options to add avatar, title, rating and of course name!
When you're all done, it will look like this:
