Forum

Is there anyway to create surveys in clubs? If not, can that be a thing. It’s really annoying using forums to ask for people’s opinions in clubs, so I think a club survey would be cool.

So recently I played a game against somebody who got banned for abuse. This was their first daily game and their rating was 1200 while mine was 1205. Eventually, his account got banned and I won on time. To my surprise, I did not get any ELO points whatsoever. I do not feel it is appropriate to give the link to the game as it would reveal the user's username, but if any moderator asks me I can give them the link to the game. Anyways, there might be a reason for this, but I don't find it very fair the way I see it.

I literally took 4 seconds and then moved my pawn and the game auto aborted... Does anybody know what happened?

I would like for chess.com to show my splits for puzzle rush, e.g. the number of puzzles you solved at the 1 minute mark, 2 minute mark, 3 minute mark, etc. Also, please make the accuracy for "Avg time per puzzle" up to a tenth of a second, you can do that in live chess, why not in puzzle rush?

Q #1 -Is the following vacation time use in violation of the below Chess.com policies? Q #2 -How does Chess.com deal with a violation of the "spirit" of a poilicy if the policy is not technically violated? Chess.com policies Sportsmanship Policy Do not make your opponents wait unnecessarily Fair Play Policy Do not artificially manipulate ratings, matches, or game outcomes Facts Player A organizes a 3-day tournament that allows vacation time. Tournament start date May 17, 2019. Player A has completed 3 of 16 games (5 if the 2 games the forfeited games where another player timed out are included). Group play has been completed for all games, except for games against player A. Player A has over 500 games going simultaneously – so cannot keep up with all of his commitments. Player A puts up a vacation flag after almost every move. Player A has a Diamond Membership and therefore cannot time out but automatically goes into vacation mode after his time expires; can maintain up to 90 vacation days– virtually unlimited The math –“earns” 5 days per month as a diamond member,and vacation time is activated automatically before he times out he has 3 days to move per tournament rules, then vacation mode is activated he “earns” 5 days per month, so, at a minimum, only needs to move 5 times during the month, or once every 6 days – to maintain unlimited vacation time the result is player A is not honoring the rules of the tournament that he create and that the other members signed up - they move every 3 days - he moves every 6 days or sometimes after more than 6 days Thanks

I don't know but when I try to challenge someone it doesn't show. It might be my error but please let me know. Thanks!

This is about the Play button located on Game Pages. It helps the player in understanding how the game has gone so far. We can also change the animation of our choice. I use Slow Animation Type. However, there is a difference in play speed in Vote Chess and Daily games! I very much like the play speed in Vote Chess games! Comparatively, in Daily games, the play speed is some faster! My suggestion is… That would be so nice if the play speed level of VC games is introduced in Daily games too! Maybe, with Very Slow option! Hope; I've explained well! Thank you!

So, if anyone sends you a message with copied content, it gets badly rendered with long string of numeric characters (upright) stretching across multiple messages. Probably has something to do with html tags which also get copied, and of course html tags should be disabled otherwise it becomes security risk. I'll try later to upload screenshots, as I had to delete problematic messages to be able to read properly rest of my inbox.

This is a very, very annoying problem. You cannot delete comments in your own forums, unless it is a club forum and you are an admin in the club. For example, if somebody says a bad word in my forum, I could block them (and keep them from posting any more) but I can't delete their comment. Here's an example forum (Post #86)

In my most recent blitz game, my opponent was typing in another language, and when I looked it up on Google Translate, it turns out that the person was swearing.

I tried to invite 30 people just now in the club Scaryninja and His Friends, but it gave me the message "The CSRF token is invalid. Please try to resubmit the form." This is strange because I am an admin. and because I am an admin, I should be able to access and invite people...

Is there a counter that records the actual checkmate I have made? I have looked and I don't see one, so if not I think it may be a nice feature to add.

instead of having the times as: 5 days, or 42 hours, we could have it like 5 days 3 hours or 42 hours 34 minutes.

In the game below, on moves 52 and 53 I had a "missed win" indicated in analysis because I was "only" +70 points instead of mate in 11, lol... The thing with +70 points is that within a few additional seconds my move was shown to be a forced mate as well. Maybe "Missed Win" shouldn't apply in the case of a game that's already decisive? It might still be a mistake or inaccuracy if it wins more slowly, though. https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/3918986656?tab=report

I think it would be an easy improvement to add a Puzzle Rush "Theme" category for Defensive/ King Under Attack puzzles. I am not good at deciding which of the potential eight squares is the best one to move my king to when I am in a "Rush". I need to practice this skill.Unfortunately, since there is no "Theme" category for these puzzles, there's no easy way for me to just work on improving my understanding of this type of puzzle in "Learning" mode.I am pretty sure I am not the only one who has trouble with these. If you could add it as a "Theme" so members can practice it, I would appreciate it.

When I opened chess.com, I noticed I had a chess challenge, I usually only like to play three games at a time because I give each game some thought, and it could take 30mins or more if needed even two or more visits return to the game position? But the person that challenged me had a rating of 300 points or more below me, so I said what the heck, yes I accept your challenge. I asked the person how they found me and they said by random pick, ok? After playing with this person about 7 or more moves I went and looked at there chess activity and was shocked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They had over 400 games all going on at the same time, and they needed to challenge me to a game ?????????????? This player I will not name the country nor male or female, but was NOT a premium member at any level, just a individual taking advantage of chess.com. So I wonder if every other person did this would that cause a over-load burden on the chess.com system. Even if not, should there be considered a limit how many games one person has going on at the same time?? 400 games, WOW! Especially a player really just learning the game??

Using my iPhone 8 on safari I can’t access messages. I can go to the messages tab but when I tap on a message it won’t open. Even the 3D Touch feature won’t fix this.

This games were on the website using a phone. Most recent game was https://www.chess.com/live#g=3912483728 where the phone screen kept moving nearer and nearer to my king until finally if you look at the game, by the end, it had moved so far down that I couldn't see the board anymore. This problem occured in many games and would start the game perfectly but after 10-15 moves it would start slowly moving down. Please address it soon. Only happens in live chess

In daily games the variations from the second board are automatically carried over to the analysis.However the what-ifs are not. By that I mean the daily game premoves where you can predict your opponent's moves and your response.It would be interesting to have them, maybe even marked through annotation that it's the prediction line, in the analysis to see how good your predictions were and if they actually happened. Also it would be nice to be able to edit them or at least remove the last move as if you make a long variation but have a mouseslip at the end, you need to delete it and enter everything again.
