Could there be a checkbox added to not show this screen again. It's of course not too big of a deal to close it, but it does get annoying seeing it for the n-th time each time you open the analysis. Seeing it for the first time or when you run out of the amounts of analysises? analyses? for current membership it makes sense, but not every time you start. Similarly, the last tactic is a bit overzealous to show the popup. You don't get to see the rating change or to retry if you got it wrong without closing the popup each time. It should show the rating change and let you retry until you solve it and only show up when you click on the next. On the android app, when you run out of your tactics, the next button changes to the diamond symbol which lets you know that you've run out of the daily puzzles for your membership without throwing up an overlay and only shows the overlay when you click on it, so I think that's a nice solution.

1) I finished my 1st daily game some time ago, but I didn't unlock the achievement. What do I do? 2) I think I tried analyzing one of my games, but I didn't unlock the Second Opinion achievement. What am I doing wrong? 3) I think I tried reviewing all my stats, but I didn't unlock the Statistician achievement. How do I do that? 4) What does it mean to "use 'My Games' database past move 5" to obtain the Introspection achievement? 5) I also need help with the Ballot Box achievement. I distinctly remember playing in a Vote Chess game that's still going. 6) What's the difference between joining a tournament, playing in a Team Match, and directing a tournament? 7) How does becoming a Pack Leader work? I've joined this very club, and it has much more than 10 members, but I haven't received that achievement. What's going on?

When a live chess game ended when my premoves didn't finish, there was a yellow textbook and a popup at the bottom right reading: You ran out of time before your move 48...Kf4 reached the server. The game ended in a draw, and it was draw by fivefold repetition, not timeout vs insufficient material. Why the popup?

So i played an arena and got 3rd position. As usual i received that trophy and got a notification. I clicked on it and after that I moved to another page. I wanted to check my other notifications and noticed the 3rd position trophy again (normal) and clicked that 'x' to remove it. Soon after that when i checked notifications again the trophy notification was still there. I removed it again only to find it back after a few moments. What's up with the notifs?

Currently there is no way to report a bug that occurs with something dynamic like the menu bar or anything you need to hover the mouse over as clicking on the question mark closes it again. So it would be handy to have a hotkey so those parts could also be captured in the report screenshot. Or having an additional tool that allows you to click on stuff that would display the mouseover functions and leaves them locked for the screenshots.

When going through a game or analysis, a check has a different sound than a regular move. However moving backwards from a position with check, it still plays the check sound. Shouldn't that be just a regular move sound? In the same way going backwards from a position to one where the king is in check has the regular sound

Issue: Puzzle Rush stats view does not provide the stat average.Suggestions: Change Full Stats link Rather than going to the tactics combination stats page: much better would be to go to the puzzle rush archive view as it provide the status summary as well: https://www.chess.com/puzzles/rush/archive yields:

I've had several instances where I've been holding a piece and thinking about where to put it, only to have it released. I've drawn lines for a while and my mouse button doesn't seem to have any issues, and all the lines are continuous, so it shouldn't been my mouse. Anyone else experiencing something similar?

I can see the Daily Match archive for our club, but I can’t seem to find the Live Match one. Can someone help me?

This is really bugging me. Maybe it's my lack of understanding the position. My knight was on d4 and got attacked by the pawn with c5. I played Nf5 which is a mistake. It says Nxb5 would have been best. Looking at that best line, the next move for black is c4. How can this be the best move, if the next move in the evaluation is an okay-ish move instead of the best. The knight ends up taking the rook, but that wouldn't be possible with the best move. What bothers me is how this can be the best move if very next opponent move is assumed to be not the best. That's like saying going for scholar's mate is the best move, provided the opponent doesn't defend against it. It might of course very well be the best move, but how are we supposed to learn from the analysis if the best lines include blunders from the opponent or am I completely mistaken here? That's why I suggested for the first best lines to be calculated as line length + depth. With the default depth = 20 and line length = 10, the second move would only have a depth of 19 and the last the depth of 10, so evaluating them with the full depth of 20 it might get ranked worse. With a depth of 30, the last move would still be consistent with the depth of 20. Or what else might be causing blunders or inaccuracies in the suggested lines?

For some reason my average Puzzle Rush score after over 1,100 games was 12.97 this morning. I only played twice today and now my average now shows as 12.26. Something seems to be amiss. Hmmm...

how can i login in Computer CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP

Hi, A friend of mine has troubles to log in since two days. He tried to reset pass, but no joy as he said - simply nothing happens, when he enters username/pass no error messages just log in form resets. I tried to log in, and indeed there is no "wrong username/password" error, no any errors whatsoever. His username is "ivannikol" he's got some moves to make and we're afraid that going through support channel will take few days thus he could timeout some games. If it's possible that someone resets his pass and PM me with instructions. Edit: This can be also considered as bug report/suggestion as there should be error displayed in case of wrong password or username. As it is now, it's confusing. Tested with my own account Edit #2: Opera browser, opera vpn on - log in doesn't work, no errors displayed. Tor browser - everything works fine.

https://www.chess.com/live#g=3537617770 Why did @Computer9 send me a draw offer when i was winning? Turns out they are as smart as humans are! This is unfair! I thought that the game was really a draw, otherwise they wouldn't send draw offers. It showed a -2 advantage for black in the last move of the drawn game, after i analyzed on my personal trainer. My home engine is polite enough to not bother me except for when it predicts a 0.00 draw, lol.

If you look on a profile it say points. What does that mean?

I remember having a lot more trouble against the computer on level 5. I wish to think that I got better, but truth is probably that the computer shouldn't blunder like on move 7 at level 5 and play overall as weak as it did. Is that some freak accident or did some settings get messed up?

Someone already suggested to mark favourite games. It'd also be neat if there was a symbol showing how the game was concluded. So symbols for timeout, checkmate, resignation, and maybe forced draw, stalemate, or agreed draw or anything I might be missing, I guess aborted by a player or the server. It'd be also neat to be able to filter for those when searching the archive.

Hi! We're putting together an article to give a little more background/detail about Analysis, and to address questions that have come up as we've gotten familiar with the new features. What would you like to know more about?  - how the player Accuracy score is calculated - how moves are classified (Mistake vs Inaccuracy, etc.) - how game type is determined (Sudden, Rough, etc) - what search depth is used by the engine - how to learn from Analysis features...   Other suggestions/questions? Thank you!
