Forum

Edited 10/8/21 In recent weeks the volume of posts to the beta forum has rocketed. The purpose of the forum is to report bugs and provide feedback with regard to the Beta version. The Chess.com staff need to review each post. As responsible members of the Beta community each of us should do our best to:1. Minimize duplicate topics by: a. Checking to see if there already is a topic. (see item 2) b. Not posting multiple topics, instead post a comment2. When posting a topic provide a clear concise Topic title so readers can accomplish item 1a. Far too many times their is a topic of just "Bug". This is doing a disservice to the Chess.com staff and the Beta community. Fix unclear topic title and topic message body via the Edit Forum Topic button:3. Include screen shots and or links to the game or page in question to make reproducing/confirming the issue easier.4. Don't hijack the topic with off topic comments or snarky/half-witty comments.5. Be considerate, There are young members and members where English is not their first language. Criticizing their grammar or spelling is not adding any value to the discussion.6. Help the Chess.com staff by reducing the posting traffic by asking yourself "Do I have a comment that adds value to the discussion?" If no then don't post.

Beta Team!    Making sure that our dev team has all the correct information can dramatically lessen the amount of time required to fix bugs. To that end, please use the following template when submitting bug reports to Jira/Usersnap.    Bug Report Form: Overview:  Give a brief overview of the bug or suggestion.  Environment: List relevant browser, operation system, app version, device type, etc. Also add relevant username/profile links, game links, tournament ids etc.  Steps to Reproduce:  Give very specific step by step instructions for recreating bug even if the steps seem stupid. Include screenshots or video to insure there is no ambiguity.   For example, don't say, "Step 1. Sent 1 minute challenge" instead say, "Issue 1 minute challenge from post game modal after having finished another game." Result: Give detailed explanation of what happens as a result of the steps you listed above. Provide screenshot or video to demonstrate bug exactly.  Expected Result: Provide what should have happened instead of the bug, even if it seems obvious.    Use the template below. Simply Copy Paste it in the bug report pop up: Beta Bug Report  Overview:   Environment:  Steps to Reproduce:   Result:  Expected Result:  Chess.com always happy to recieve feedback, especially when you encounter bugs or when features don't work as well as you expect. Though, we do ask that you keep your feedback respectful both in bug reports and public forums. Abusive behavior may result in removal from Beta club.  Thank you very much! Your feedback will help greatly! 

When I play with a bot or coach I can’t play when I checked my Wi-Fi it was good!

I have an idea.When you are friends with each other in the same club as them as well on their profile under clubs it says Mutual Clubs with a drop down to view clubs your both in and oh their profile page it says Mutual Clubs then a number and then says Go to the user’s club page to view a lite of Mutual Clubs.Example if me and @kingken_1 are in Chess.com beta Paladins of chess Rocket Astronomy and some other' clubs say 80 together because me and him are friends on his profile i’d see mutual clubs 83 and he’d see that on mine.

So, I was thinking, for those people Under 18 who really want to be a moderator but can’t, ‘What if they were Youth Moderators in chess.com’? I thought that Youth Moderators should be able to help chess.com be safer and be a beta member, but just does that, not anything else as ,well, they are youth.Please accept my request for youth moderators- Krishna-Balaram108

Hello Chess.com team, I’ve noticed you guys are not banning people for abuse as much anymore! Some users have so many reports, and must be banned, no below, in my beliefs. I know I probably shouldn’t be posting about this, and no one wants to read a long paragraph these days, so I’ll keep it short and brief. I don’t know why you just mute them, as they can still do many things. They deserve a much bigger punishment. Although they could be a good reason, I’ll send the details about some abusers I’ve encountered. (There’s a lot) They are probably abusing the fact they won’t get banned, as I saw one that was 2600 rapid and should be banned, as they probably don’t care about a mute as much. It' would really sting on them and make them sad. Abusers should learn the hard way. Sorry for making a long paragraph, or posting in the wrong club.

Do beta features get added to the actual chess.com (without beta mode)?

When you play a game in an arena tournament, at the end of the time of the tournament, the game will automatically end and no ones get or lose elo points.But that really unfair, because many peoples use this to not lose points when they’re losing.Recently, I’ve played an Arena tournament on WorldChess or FIDE Official Arena, and if the time of the tournament ends, the game must be finished(and you can get or lose elo) and there’s no problem of fair play. And of course, the game didn’t count in the Arena points.

Hello!I have been noticing a small bug on my account and I don’t know if its just me, or everyone else. When I go too my profile, or someone else’s, I get a error message when I click clubs. Error Image attached. Thanks!

In the game review all of the moves are offset

Hello,In a game i premoved thinking the opponent is going to conduct enpassant and game also made the square as red, thinking that there will be a take. But opponent did not enpassant and yet my premove still has been done. Is there a way to solve this? I mean if it is not a take, normally game wouldn’t allow the move. But in enpassant it is different i suppose. Did anyone came on to this?Thanks.

No, Magnus didn't join my club, I went to Members > Manage Members to ban him. Chesscom should do this small Fixture:The image says that Magnus ‘Joined 22 days ago’ but it should be fixed and it should say ‘Banned 22 days ago’ Please do this small Fixture immediately, although it's not even necessary. Thanks for Reading.

When I receive the coins for checkmating or etc a bot, it sometimes gives me too much on an easy day, or vice versa.

Hey can we add Harry Potter bots. I mean surely Wizarding World ™ can give some rights to the BIGGEST chess community! If they do, then :Dobby -300- make some catchphrases like dobby has come to save his pawns or the knight is humble is modest sirHarry Potter - 650 - make him modest and pls don't select me for another triwizard tournament Hermione Granger - 1020 make her all smart and pop random Wizarding factsRon Weasley - 1850 make him like thinking And funnyAlbus Dumbledore - make him wise and helpfulPls take this to consideration Thanks,@Magnanimous_Warrior

This isn’t really that important but when i was browsing through my history of positions on leagues, everytime I tried to check week 17 the computer automatically switched it to week 18. I tried several methods to check week 17 but no matter what i did it showed week 18 only…

so i was going to game review and i saw that coach has some new animation

Hi, I think there may be an issue with the new coin system. I recently played against the P1R4T3 bot, and after winning I received 40 points instead of the usual 20. From what I understand, that bot is not supposed to be one of the harder bots that gives extra rewards, so the amount of points I got seemed incorrect.I’m not sure if this is intentional, part of a new update, or just a bug, but I wanted to report it in case something in the system is calculating rewards incorrectly. I tested it again to make sure I wasn’t mistaken, and the points still seemed higher than expected.I also attached an image of my game history.Has anyone else noticed this happening with other bots too?Also, it would be really cool to see more rewards added in future updates to make the system even more fun and motivating for players.

How do I push a knight?

Simply make the cosmetics unlock progressively through the month. In addition, make the cosmetics need more coins because you should need more than 6 games to unlock these cosmetics.
