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! 
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.

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.

I don’t know if this is happening to others but I did one puzzle next I had to go, so I closed my computer than later when I did my rest of my puzzles I did three more rather than only two?

Once when I played P1R4T3 bot, it said Polly’s “SQWAK!” comment. I thought it was an Easter egg but I played Polly and it said “I didn’t see that. Do I need to upgrade my graphics card?”, which is P1R4T3’s statement. It happens when my website force restarts. Plz fix.

I have a question: The beta version of Chess.com has been updated and playing against bots now earns coins. If players bet against those bots and use them in Super Blitz mode, will they lose coins? I've tried it.

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
