Sure, we can all practice chess through battling other players on live and daily chess. But I would like a way where we could all battle players without earning or losing any points. That would be nice, especially to the players who are new to the game of chess and don’t want to lose any points.

When opening a daily game, the board is initially offset to the left sometimes. Clicking on resizing, without actually resizing puts it back in the center. Refreshing does too.

After I went to one of my games in my archive, I found that I can't see the move list at all, or see a way to see it at least. Here's a screenshot:

I would like to state before talking about my idea, that this has not been thought of a lot, just an idea that occurred to me. And that I agree, that it definitely needs to be thought and improved on. I would sort of like to see a feature where you can rate a club, and describe why you rated it like that. It would allow for members to decide if they want to join the club, it would influence the "recommended clubs" section, and it would give admins an opportunity to see how they can improve. Maybe sort of like what it asks you when you downgrade your membership, and admins, or maybe just S.A. can look at overall statistics of why members rated it like it is. Also, something I was thinking of was making the rating public or private. Again, this definitely needs to be improved on but I think it would make a very cool idea. Some of the details I gave can be taken away, or more details can be added on. Please consider my suggestion and ask any questions to me about it as you want. Ideas from the comment section: Updated with frequency because the club's quality could change Anonymous option (One con, there can be multiple fake reviews and the second accounts wont get caught, maybe a solution to this is chess.com moderators being able to see who the anonymous member was)

I recently lost a game, and according to the game report even though I committed numerous blunders and mistakes errors etc I still achieved over 88% my opponent same level achieved over 89%, how can this be

sometimes when i try to use the new chat feature it doesn't show the messages. but later when i access the chat it shows them/

When you navigate the lessons, the ones you completed are marked as such. However if you search for certain keywords, the ones you completed among the results are not marked as completed and it would be nice to see that at a glance

How do you add a chat? I looked over a player in a beta's member profile and can't find anything

I was checking how many bullet games I'd played and looked at them through my profile. If I clicked on the bullet stats it said I'd lost 227 games, won 98 and drew 6. I then clicked full stats and it said I'd only played 198 games (74 wins, 120 loss, 4 draw). I'm not sure how many I've actually played. Why is this happening?

Good evening! I just wanted to report that the old "TV Mods" club says: "Defunct club: please joing: https://www.chess.com/club/moderators" instead of join. BTW for future reference, could you tell me if there is a preferred forum or Chess.com area to report small mistakes such as this one? Thank you!

so that you don't have to look through 17 pages to find ones just listed that you haven't considered yet. (sorting by start date doesn't achieve this because of the variety)

The articles contain a lot of useful information and would maybe receive more views under the Learn tab.

Hello! What have you done with the mobile version of the interface (see screenshots below)? Unable to solve puzzles. I click on the chess pieces, but there is no result, the site does not feel clicks. On the full version, everything is fine, but from the phone it is not convenient. Return, please, as it was before! Thank you! Sincerely, Dmitry (HappyMan_UA).

lol I will never stop making dramatic post topics I locked a post as admin in a club, and when I visited it the "This thread has been locked" didn't appear, I thought admins get a green card and can post but it shows the red line that it's locked, so is this a bug or something you did on purpose? I saw another locked thread and it showed the line, so either it's because it's meant to do that, or because I'm the one who locked it

Apparently, there is a new restriction in posting comments: no more than 3 consecutive comments by the same user. I have been extensively commenting matches of my club "Team The Hague", for example this one here: https://www.chess.com/club/matches/team-the-hague/975552 Is the new restriction really supposed to make comments like this impossible? I would be very happy if some exemption rule could be added. (E.g. for admins in the forums and matches of their clubs.)

When and why can't analysis reports be created for master games? As an example: For https://www.chess.com/games/view/290740 trying to do game analysis yields:

In a live chess game, can there be a time control where the players must make a move in a limited amount of time or else they lose? It seems like an epic, brutal variant of blitz or bullet; even when someone must think or examine a position, they can't. Reasons this time control will be good is that: 1. It's a very fun, much harder version of blitz and bullet. Even in blitz or bullet, you can think for an extended amount of time in difficult positions and play fast in other ones; in this time control, you can't even do that. It's very fun and crazy. 2. It stops people from letting their time run out in a lost position. In this time control, you don't have to wait for very long to win if they do that.

Can you store a game not played on chess.com, for example after analysing a match in a chess club?

When reviewing another member's archive and composing a Explore Games query the link Explore Games link at the bottom generates an incorrect link. Assume user's name is username. The link generated is for the my games. Here is a screen shot of the incorrect link address: Assuming the link should represent the query composition above the correct link should have gameSource=Other, not own, &GameType=blitz, not all, and an additional &username=username like so:
