You no longer need to be in live chess to receive challenges which is cool so you don't have to explain to your not so tech savvy GM grandmother how to get to live chess so you can play anymore.  Here is a video showing you how it should work:  https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cqnt2D0IN0 Please test the crud out of it and let me know if anything breaks! 

I try to click f6, and noting happens. I click it two more times. Then, it comes through, but the next two squares-h5 and a1-go by really fast. The funny thing is it says I got them right! here is my score now:

I just opened live chess, and my board is squashed. I tried adjusting the size of my window but it didn't work. What's going on here?

I think chess.com needs to change the way it calculates the accuracy score; it is either too high or too low. I just had a 22-move game where I had 1 inaccuracy, 2 mistakes, and 1 blunder; yet because I nailed a mate-in-six sequence, I had an accuracy score of 91.5.

This one might be a bug and not intended: After each game there is this overlay showing who won etc. Once the time runs out, the current games stops. When you then join a new tournament, this overlay reappears offering to go to the next match, while a new opponent is being searched.I feel like the last game shouldn't stop when the tournament time runs out. Maybe players could toggle a continue option and if both have it on, the game will continue, just not count towards the arena points. The results shouldn't be displayed while an arena or non-arena game is ongoing. It seems like in the tournament, e.g. 1m bullet, the time starts running immediately instead of after the first move. Is this intended? It sort of puts white in a disadvantage as you're dropped into a game and don't know you'll have white and the time is already running. Lastly. I might be remembering it wrong, but I think there was a "cancel" button where you could abort the search for a new opponent before you're connected, it seems to not be around anymore. I don't mean canceling a game before making the first move, I mean canceling the looking for a new opponent. If you close the overlay with the next match button, it's still searching. I think it's not in regular live chess either. Edit: Clicking the searching in progress box actually aborts it. Maybe it could be a bit more visible that it has that function, not only on mouseover, especially since there is non on mobile. Also it's missing the buzzing sounds for illegal moves like when a piece is pinned to the king or trying to castle when you can't. It's not always clear if one dragged it on a wrong square while hurrying or if the move was illegal. Well, that would also be an illegal move, but in the sense of that the piece could go there, except you're in check or pinned.

So I have the move type set to drag, but sometimes it doesn't seem to register the release and move it anyways. For example I touched the king, but released it, dragged another piece and it the king moved. I also saw the other piece being dragged. Today something weird happened, Both my rooks were in their starting positions, I dragged the left one, but the right one moved instead, and I definitely didn't touch it. I don't remember which game that was in though, and it's like not "traceable" anyways... One annoyance when participating in a e.g. 30min bullet tournament. When the time is almost run out, so there is no point to starting a new match in the tournament and you start a regular bullet game, when the tournament is over, it overlays the results even in the non tournament game which can cause a loss due to timeout. I know that the tournament tab can be closed but it shouldn't appear during non tournament games even if it's left open. In those cases it should be delayed until after non tournament the timed game. I feel like the result popup after a game is a big big, maybe it could be scaled down in height so it doesn't cover the names and flags, so basically only as tall as the chess board. One last suggestion, since there are new sounds, maybe there could be a different sound for premoves. Or a specific signal after the opponent made the move after the last premove, and maybe an option to cancel premoves with the right mouse button.

How can I get the analysis by de engine? Sometimes it works automatically.

Could it be movable, so once game is finished we can move it from center of board to have look onto position ? Closing it doesn't do good when playing bullet, sometimes I just need quick look but popup usually obstructs the view.

then the program let me! Very strange. Excuse me for making such a bad move but after it wouldn't move (it would select / turn blue, but not be able to be placed) I was like ! this is weird, so I kept trying over and over and it refused to let me make the wrong move lol. Then I tried the correct move, and it let me! I have screenshotted the starting position for the tactic. LXQtlubuntu18.04 with the latest firefox

Has never happened to me before, and I use a lot of up to date browsers although I notice chess.com does not work in all of them. EDIT: That title was supposed to say the other THREAD I made about this topic. IE : This thread title should be: Please take my Couldn't make a wrong tactic move THREAD seriously as it seems / seemed to be a really serious glitch.

**Crossposting this from general forums looking for a few more responses** Hi everyone! As some of you have already heard we're working on updating our sounds across Chess.com. This involves cleaning up some old audio, creating a consistent experience across all platforms (web, iOS, & Android), and in some cases exploring new sounds. With all of this in mind I'd love your feedback. There have been mixed reviews on the small changes that have been made already and I'd really like to hear more from the community about what they're hearing. Below is a link to a survey on a couple of move sound adjustments as well as the new set of puzzle rush sounds that went live last week. I encourage you to not only select your favourite but to comment on why you made your choice. Describing the sounds using adjectives like 'bright', 'heavy', 'warm', or anything else that comes to your mind will go a lot farther than just saying 'this one sucks' but all responses are welcome.

It would be great if we could click on lines in the analysis and follow them through, rather than having to click on the best next moves repeatedly.

Hey guys, as a new player now playing a little bit with the analysis tool, it tells me when i make a good move, a bad move or an inaccuracy etc. Is there a way to tell me why this move was rated that way? For example i move a Knight to a certain position and the analysis tool tells me that this was an inaccuracy. It would be nice if it then would also tell me something like "it opens up your defense" or "it enables an attack on... " or "now your pawn is isolated". I hope you understand what i'm trying to say ^^.

when I am in live chess and press on top players and scroll down all I see is titled players and get scroll down below that to see the untitled players this must be a bug because it didn't used to be like this please fix this

Has this happened? Is there a target date? I hate to have to quit Beta to figure these things out.

There should be a way to star certain games in archive too find them easily later.

When you reach a low amount of certain time, the timer makes this weird maraca sound and the timer goes red. I hate this setting so can anybody erase it?????????

at times when i do puzzle rush and have solved a problem correctly this thing hangs and although the timer is on i don't get my next tactic. Any help?
