I think it would be cool to find your real chess rating on this site. It would really help a lot of people out, & other elo finder's UI are really bad. It can also be used for adding or subtracting points on a game if you lose or win. They should have 20-30 random puzzles you do to find it. (most of them aren't mate in 1). It would be useful. Thanks!

I was really interested in a forum I saw earlier on the nature of sandbagging. I thought about it, and wondered "What if we induced a rating floor, like US Chess, after a certain amount of games?". What do you guys think?

Hi I just went on mobile website, and when I started playing or doing the puzzles I have to tap the initial and final squares instead of just dragging the piece to the final square. Can anyone help? Thanks!

When I tried to make a conditional move, (I was white and it was not my turn) I moved one of blacks pieces and that worked fine, then tried to move one of my pieces and there was a message that kept popping up that said 'Please make a move before making a condition, then reset the piece I just tried to move. It happens multiple times.

I'm curious about why I didn't get the "daily 25" achievement yet, despite being involved with at least 25 daily games. Maybe it's buggy because I started some of those games without finishing them in a timely fashion? Should I keep playing daily games until the website lets me play in tournaments? (I've been told that I can only play in tourneys after I've played 30 daily games.) Also, I believe that I recently completed 100 mentor lessons, so how come I still only have the Kindergarten and Grade School achievements while Chess College remains locked? Another thing that I want to know is how do I know how many videos of Chess TV I've watched? I know I've watched at least ten of them, but I don't know what part of the website records or displays that kind of detail. Lastly, how do I know how many rounds of puzzle rush or tactics I've done? Much like with video-watching, I don't know how to confirm how much progress I've made (barring keeping track of this sort of thing on my own).

If somebody posts a topic on any club and then an admin deletes it, it shows up as "/clubname has a new topic" then blank, but if you cross it out in the notifications bar it comes back

In this Daily Chess game, I moved Nc3 which is the Slav Defense: Three Knights Variation. Then, curious to see whether or not Bf4 was a "Book Move", I went to the analysis mode and undid Nc3, and played Bf4, but it still said it was the Slav Defense: Three Knights Variation. I went to the explorer to check this, and it showed that it isn't a book move at all, (which is true). So...yeah.

Issue: One can only Retry moves from one player's perspective. When reviewing other's games it would be nice to change the Retry perspective and retry the both players weaker moves. Fix: Change the interface to permit toggling Retry from the white or black perspective. The default being my perspective when reviewing my games and white's when reviewing other's games. A mouse click to change it, Maybe the player's icon. It would also change the board presentation. This change would let me review my opponent's weak moves as well. This can be equally as instructive.

I've had this happen several time. I was trying an different ending of how the game could have gone on, so it wasn't "preanalyzed" so I was trying a move Bd6 and it said that it's bad and Bh6 was best. So I went back and moved to Bh8 instead and it said Bh8 is best and Bd6 is an alternative which a second ago was shown to be an inaccuracy

This puzzle https://www.chess.com/puzzles/problem/103205 has and orange button instead of the three regular ones that let you replay it and clicking it throws me to a random different puzzle instead of this one. It was the one on which my time ended in puzzle rush, so it had that grey icon instead of the red one. The reds worked just fine, so I don't know if it's that or just this specific puzzle. Edit: putting "/practice" behind the URL does nothing as well, while it works on other puzzles, as that's what happens when you click the left of the three buttons on the lower screenshot.

I used to be able to use the new analysis feature, but now it has reverted to it's original form. Is this intentional? Or is it only for premium members?

Is there a feature where you can have just a chessboard where you can play someone next to you except with your phone instead of an actual board? I've seen someone do it before but I don't know where to find it. Another thing was that when I saw someone have this mode on, the had to keep turning the phone to his opponent because the pieces all faced one way. Could the white pieces face the top of the phone and black face the bottom? (or vice versa.)

It is better to make more visual display like Arrow pointing in lichess.org for Game Analysis.

chess.com should make this thing where clubs can challenge other clubs to arenas where it's just like an arena where only the members from those two (or not necessarily two, but only the clubs in the arena match) can compete, and then the scores of all the club members are added to give each club's total score.

what should i do to report when someone plays from engine

I had vacation on for my daily games because I was leaving for a bit. Some of the games were on my opponents move when I turned vacation on, but I lost on time after they moved. I lost so many games because of this bug and I need my Elo points back please

twice the chat block did not appear on the conversation

I click on Help/Support button get the drop down menu, tried to select submit a bug or report abuse, etc. nothing works. I am reporting two bugs now. 1. The Help Support button not working. 2. A closed invite only Tournament for my club is limited to only 12 players! I created an invite only tournament for my whole club The Pup Pack, invited all my club members yesterday (104). I went to the tournament home page today, the Join button still shows, there are 12 players signed up. I clicked on the Join button and I received a message that the tournament is full! It should be as many players as wants to join! Can you help me Please! Thank you in advance!

So why does the tactics sidebar say "Passed: 1249/2674" and then "Total Attempts: 2674"? That seems kind of redundant.
