I find that in my correspondence games there will often be commentary about particular moves or lines, but that it is sometimes difficult to tell exactly which moves when returning to the chat a day or so later. If each message were preceded by the immediately preceding moves for white and black that would be a great help in this regard.

Would it be possible to have the feature to create your own tactic by loading in a pgn with variations? Then you could chose the colour and you'd be asked to play the random variations, or go through them in order, although random would be better, so you don't memorize the sequence in some order, from the pgn with the computer playing the other colour. That would be a really nice way to practice a prep. Like you could compile stuff from the opening explorer or GM games, save it as a pgn and practice it as your own opening repertoire.

Archive's game view shows the time left on the clocks. It would be great if the analysis report did also somewhere. Maybe like so:

Hello Staff, Can you please take a look at this finished 960 game ? It says I missed 2 wins ?? I don’t see how ?? Thank you

So, basically, the people in a league play Puzzle Rush, and get scores that go into the league's leaderboard. To stop people from doing 5 puzzles and then getting 3 wrong, every wrong one(not ones you time out on) is subtracted from your score. Also, to encourage getting high scores, every 5 you get is worth 1 extra puzzle in the league(not for new scores on puzzle rush). So, if you get a score of 31 on Puzzle Rush, and got 2 wrong, and timed out the last, on the leaderboard he gets 35 new points. He got 31, because of puzzle rush puzzles solved, gained 6 extra because 30 divided by 5 is 6, that makes 2, and he got 2 wrong, and since 37-2 = 35. The top 10, or 100, or 1,000 get to advance, the other's don't advance. What do you think?

I reporting this bug as I have had it occur a couple of times. It seems a bit random so it may be hard to diagnose. Bug: When running an analysis report my move color settings forgotten and are unset. The toggle setting at the top had no effect indicating no settings yet. The first time one runs analysis I think the initial settings are unset and once set on the can be set off and the toggle at the top has an effect. I have all colors on in my settings. The first time the bug occurred I was analyzing someone else's game and thought the settings might be stored with the game. I set the colors on just made a mental note about the loss of color settings. Today I analyzed my game and everything was as expected with all colors set. I closed the tab. A few minutes later I decided to re look at the game. The initial load of the analysis seemed to be delayed and once the game displayed the color setting were unset. To see the colors I needed to click each icon to turn it on. So it seems sometimes the color settings are not loaded and they are in the unset state. I think my Engine Time Limit and Engine Lines are remembered though. I will have to make note if I see this bug again.

By the way, I am an admin of one of those clubs, if that is relevant.

If you navigate in a video with the arrow keys to go back a few seconds, a sound is also heard as if a piece was moved. I might be not only moving the video playback pointer but also the challenge board?

I would like some clarification regarding what constitutes watching chess TV? Is this "live streaming" when someone is broadcasting live, such as the world chess championships or do I have to watch "archived episodes" from start to finish? It's just not clear how to achieve this one. I have tried watching a few different options of content and am still unsure. I have asked multiple other members how to achieve this and received mixed responses.I have also referenced the two forum posts below, but still unclear about it. Chess.com Achievements (and how to earn them)#1 https://www.chess.com/blog/joshchessonline/all-chess-com-achievements-and-how-to-earn-them #2 https://www.chess.com/blog/TheRealDiamondGenius/chess-com-achievements

In daily games, the first move of the opponent when you open the board has been silent recently. Also if you move very fast after another move, for example you anticipate a capture and instantly capture back, that second capture also doesn't seem to make a sound anymore

Thank you for the answers

On my profile my the bullet rating is 1293, but in live chess or clicking on full statistics shows that it's 1309, so on the profile it shows an older value or is updated with a delay.

It says my club has 3 members But it really has 4

I had the website open on the phone, got one of the pending ones wrong and had the rating at 1580 or something. Then I had to do other stuff and at home I did some more on the computer and had the rating at 1599, then remembered about the one I got wrong on the phone and finished it. I did the next one on PC and got it wrong and it dropped to 1566, so it seems like it deducted it from the 1580 from when I did the one on the phone which should have been unrated after getting it wrong instead of the then current 1599.

Every time I analyze a game I have to change the settings. It would be nice if the settings saved so I wouldn't always have to change them each time I want to analyze a game. Not sure if this is normal or perhaps I'm the only one experiencing this. Does anyone know what the difference is between selecting 5 minutes (depth=24+) compared to Unlimited? And also, 1 vs 5 engine lines? These are the default settings I get every time I analyze a game. These are the settings I have to change them to every time I analyze a game.

It would be helpful if "Vote Chess" games appeared in your list of current games. This way you could more easily keep track of vote games you are participating in. Not sure if this is a glitch or just a possible oversight, but I find it rather challenging when I cannot easily reference a vote chess game I am participating in.

It would be nice to add a feature when searching your friend's list to be able to see friends in order of when you became friends. Right now, you can search in order of Most Recently Online, Join Date (when they joined Chess.com), and Alphabetical order. It doesn't happen often, but if I add multiple new friends at the same time and then want to reference a specific user, it would be easier to find them if I could reference who I most recently added as a friend.

Yet again there is a problem with a tactic that won't let me solve it when I click on solve this puzzle. The number is 518888 Clicking on the solve button opens a random different puzzle. When I solved the sequence, at least I am fairly sure I solved it as it ends with checkmate, no points were awarded and the time still keeps running. Also I don't have the slightest clue about what the tactic of 518888 is supposed to be, the engine says the best move is a4, unless the position displayed is with black still having to make a move. It also won't let share or download the puzzle https://www.chess.com/puzzles/problem/518888

I have contacted support regarding this question and the response I received was "It seems that the way I’m reporting these doesn't seem to be returning a response to me." This is why I am asking here, to hopefully get feedback from the chess.com community. In order to get the above noted achievement you have to have joined 100 tournaments. Currently I have accumulated a total of 86 trophies from various tournaments. I believe I must have surpassed playing 100 tournaments by now, as I joined the site in 2009 (10 years ago in July). I am unsure whether or not retroactive tournaments played count towards the 100 total? I believe they should because you have participated in the games. I believe the "achievement badges" were introduced after I completed a lot of tournaments. This might be why it's not showing up? Support staff, whenever you have time, could you please take a look? Thank you!

Are there any future plans to bring Puzzle Rush to mobile?
