I was just wondering, would it be at all possible to add delay time controls to chess.com? (Note: I am referring to the US Delay system, where the clock waits for the amount of delay time every move before ticking down.)

ok basically I play daily games, and sometimes random (i think?) alerts for some of the games come up, like I am in two daily tournaments, why do games from only 1 get alerts for me? is this a bug or on purpose? something I should report?

This screenshot is from the team home page of Team Athens: https://www.chess.com/club/team-athens Admin @chessnna has inconsistent user info. "Online 33 min ago" vs. "Online May 31, 2017". (I wanted to check whether I can consider him an active admin who can represent the team in a league, so this makes a crucial difference.) Isn't it strange, anyway, that admins are listed twice on a team's home page?

Hi once again, It would be very much appreciated if every player gains his/her elo points after the end of the tournament, or after he/she withdraws. Also, to reduce withdraws, you can add a small-elo-points-penalty. So, in my opinion, this would be fairer. Thanks in advance!

The Famous Alerts Bug has just doubled it's Buggyness! It now shows 2 alerts instead of 1 when I don't have any alerts!

Here's a list of some monsters that have been creeping around lately:1. Set Begin Omnipresence: Displays ALL moves in a diagram preview as the beginning moves;2. Comment-Eater Würm: Interstellar bug that feeds from comments you insert below diagrams;3. No-no-no delete me: Delete a move or a variant and the Insert button becomes look-at only.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else was unable to make arrows within a Live Game? If this was addressed before, I apologize as I have only recently joined. Thanks!

This is not a bug reporting but I propose to have the Explore out in the main menu of mobile version rather just a feature within Daily like now. This is my way to learn the openings and see them executed in practice. I'm one of the victims when you change the navigation from top to left side but it's ok, I will get used to this. Not because of this that I will give up my passion or a wonderful community like chess.com here.

Hello all. Thanks to everyone and chess.com for making the site better. Lately I have been lucky and have not run into any bugs. This report however may or may not be a bug, I'm not sure. In the attached picture you can see the move section from the live chess analysis board with comments, annotation symbols and variations. When I click on the red arrow or green arrow and either download or copy/paste the analysis the comments do not get downloaded or copied over. The annotations and variations do get downloaded, copied over. Like I said this may not be a bug, thanks. Bumper

I was playing Live Chess in Focus Mode recently, and while I was in Focus Mode, the menu with Home/Play/Learn etc didn't work. None of the links worked, and it didn't pop out when I hovered on it. It wasn't a big deal; once I left Focus Mode it worked fine, but I thought I should mention it.

I don't know who thought it made sense to remove "Vote chess" from the play menu, but this was obviously a bad idea/oversight. Please reinstate it asap!

When I am playing a Daily Game, if I highlight, say, the d6-square after I move, the next game will come up with the d6-square still highlighted. Is this a bug?

Before I'd submitted this to the suggestion area. I kind of wanted to hash it out here. Virtual reality is becoming more of a reality than a myth (pun intended) Chess games are greatly easy to program. To have a simple board game and AI with not too much power doesn't take a lot.Currently there is one app that has proven to be rather good and reliable - Chess Ultra Source: ( http://chessultraonline.com/index.php/about/) So I would imagine eventually sooner or later chess.com is going to have to grow with the technology boom at some point. There is so many potential ideas and possibilities to be had. You imagine playing the daily tournaments in some grand chess.com chess hall? Playing the live matches, or watching the Speed chess championships as if you were standing next to the players? So I would like to see Chess.com to include VR as an additional option/way/form to play like the mobile app but on Steam,Rift etc in the VR world. I mean we could have virtual real games where you have to use the tablet with a pen to write the moves down as you would on a real game you know? It would be another way to have people all over the world playing online chess from all over the world at one time. So I understand the staff may not all be VR sound/game designers and engineers or have too much money to do this. However the people at Chess Ultra has done the work for you already. So in summing up. I would like to suggest that 1. Chess.com consider/start developing a VR mode/version/app to coinside with the chess.com site we are on now currently. 2. If chess.com does not have the means to develop it's own. To either start talks with the Chess ultra team to either join, buy/copy the code or in someway form partnership to make chess.com/vr a reality. 3. If 1 and 2 are completed to include most of the options you have on the website and phone app on the VR app too. The perks of this to Chess.com would be, 1. it would open up a source of revenue to chess.com not currently open to them now. They would have a product on steam, rift etc that people would have the option of paying for. That money would go into Chess.com and re-coup the expense of making the VR app in the first place. Most VR apps are going from Free up to $49.99 if not more. This would create a new window, opportunity for the fans of the game and the website. With so much potential, The idea of virtually shaking hands with people gives me goose pimples lol. VR is happening, and it is happening now. Chess Ultra is already starting to cap the market on VR because there is no other competition to it, it does have a good strong AI but it is lacking the actual players to make the tournaments work. This is why and how I believe a marriage of Chess.com and Chess ultra would work and be mutually beneficial. Chess.com has the people, the fan base and technology of chess and tournaments to make it work. Chess ultra has the VR app/program rooms and pretty much everything you need to make it work. The only con - is people think VR is more expensive than it really is, (rift is $300) most people think you get motion sickness. You don't from chess because only thing moving is your hand and your head. So I think of it like this, VR is happening, it is happening now. This isn't something that is going to happen once we understand it more. It's here and it is now and if Chess.com doesn't take the chance now to exploit the whole in the market. To help chess.com bank balance and secure your corner of the market in VR someone else will. Then you will be on the outside looking in wishing you had acted when the demand and market is right for it. Not when it is flooded with crap chess programs. Well that's my pitch - if people have any suggestions or modifications before I submit it, I be glad to listen/hear /add or amend.

https://www.chess.com/blog/monitor/rules-update-tablebases-in-correspondence-chess In light of the recent rule change, I was wanting to make a suggestion to the pre-game options for correspondence. I would like to see a claim win button and the claim draw button be altered to include drawn end games, according to the tablebase. I would also like to see an option to play out the moves, if so desired by the players, not allowing the claim win or draw to be active. If I had to pick between the two, I would prefer not to get dragged into a game that could take years to finish, suddenly due to the level of play that each side is capable of attaining.

solid and very useful improvements (especially the "do it from here" section)! However, there is still a large amount of translation missing in the german edition.

There is no longer the option to have the menu on the top when in Beta. I know this isn't a bug, so what's the point of it? I always have the menu on the top, so if it stays this way I will leave Beta.

Today, on a free account, I played more than 5 tasks.The counter does not work.The "next task" does not work."learn" + "tactics" + "start" = a new task without a limit.

Cant get the menu at the top of the page, it is locked to the side. Is this intentional??? It should be a choice as it has been before

I thought I saw a forum topic on this but can't find it. When I click on Share>Members the search option to look up another member has disappeared. Is this is bug or intentional?
