I don't know if this only happens to me but it is quite annoying. When I play on fast time controls and generally when i'm running out of time i tend to premove a lot. Some of my premoves are however wrong and i notice them only after i've done them. I right click to take the premove back but it works only at times. This made me lose some games. Is it just my problem or has it happened to someone else as well?

I keep getting a repetitive invite to a club, for premium members and staff. I doubt I would get an annoying admin, trying to twist my arm, without a more personal approach. I have gotten the same invite 3 times in a 24 hr period. It is possible that I got put onto a list and accidentally was sent with a batch of names 3 times, but I wanted to see if anyone else could state they experienced the same ?

Hey, I can't use the arrow keys to scroll through moves in a game. Up/Down for game start/end, and left/right for one move forward/backwards. Is this something you have decided? Or is it a problem? I tried clicking in the list or clicking left/right, nothing works to activate the keys. Thoughts?

On the new boards in Live Chess, there's no way to deselect a piece. This is annoying for premoves; suppose I click on my queen while my opponent is thinking, and then I realize I want to move my knight. I click on my knight to prepare to move it, but it happens to be in the range of the queen; I've just premoved a queen to knight capture, which I might not necessarily want to do. I don't play much bullet, but I imagine that it'd probably be an even bigger problem there. The easy solution to this is just to let me deselect my queen by clicking on it before clicking on my knight, the way the old board did. Alternatively you could make premoves apply for dragging only, although bullet players might be annoyed by that.

I was playing a bullet game, and I was up on time. My opponent was obviously going to lose on time, as long as something crazy didn't happen. Suddenly, my mini box of stats ( the one that pops up when you click your username during a game), popped up, blocking the screen!!! My clock started running, so I was aware that my opponent had moved. I am sure that I in no way touched my username, or anywhere else besides the board and pieces. I ended up losing about 20 seconds of my time on one move, had to refresh the page, and ended up losing on time. It was a rated game, and my opponent did not accept a rematch. Very frustrating!!!

So when a person you may be following writes and posts something, you get a notification, right? (that is if you enable them) Well when I click on that notification, it scrolls all the way down to my activity instead of the member's activity. I'm not sure if this is a bug, and if that is what is supposed to happen, won't it be easier to go to that member's page?

This might not be the best place to ask this, but: Why does the analysis engine consider the King's Gambit a mistake?

When my pre-moves are unsuccessful (e.g., when I pre-move a takeback but my opponent doesn't take the piece), the "piece moving" sound effect plays twice (once for the opponent's move, and once for my pre-moved piece returning to its initial position, I assume). Perhaps this is intentional, but it sounds awkward and didn't happen pre-beta.

I'm not sure if chess.com TV live chat was blocked or something, but it wasn't showing up. Tweets were, but the chat wasn't. Not sure if this is a bug.

I would like to ask is there a reason or is it some kind of bug that in my teammates game (Chess960 (Fischer random) WL2018 R7: Team Norway vs Team Greece table 10) after his victory (the other player resigned) he didn't get any points nor his opponent lose any points after resigning.

The time control for this VC was 3days/move. Even yesterday at late night i did not get notification that it was our turn to move. Then how did we time out today!? This is not the first time. This has happened many times with me. Here's the link to the game

So I collapse my sidebar and it stays collapsed throughout the day, but the next morning, when I open the site, it is expanded again, then I collapse again and so on. Thoughts?

sometimes I try to make a move and can't even reach the "send" button before my beloved piece jumps back to his previous position. First I thought it's funny because my queen didn't want to take the opponents knight. But after a while it gets more and more annoying.

I am curious as to whether any recent changes have been made to the TT, for how it assigns puzzles ?

Hey there! I played a lot of Bullet matches and I've been experiencing glitches like the clocks time being frozen for like 3 - 4 seconds and it's really annoying. It's worse in Blitz matches. Basically, when you make a move, the time freezes, like Bullet for 3 - 4 seconds but not only that, it randomly says that my Internet Connection is very poor but on my computer, it says my Internet Connection is excellent and stable. Not only that, but these weird things happen A LOT in Blitz games where you make a move, just randomly at any time in the game (mostly when you're running out of time), you can hear a bunch of random moves being made which is so creepy but when the game returns back to normal, the position is the same. Are you experiencing problems like this? Let me know so I don't feel alone Do you know the solution to these problems? Again, please let me know! Thanks & Regards, Subhan

I tried, a few minutes ago, to upgrade my account. When I try to pay I get this message as seen in the screenshot, "no reason phrase" I already cleared all cookies on my computer with no result. Today is the last day of my premium account and I would like to have it for another period of time. I thougt it might has to do with my participation in chess.com Beta.

I used to get notifications everytime I got a new trophy but now I don't. Is there a setting or something for this or is it a bug?

In the analysis window I noticed that when you right click on a move to place a comment before or after the move chess.com does not automatically put a space between your comment and the next move, (it is possible to put in your own space). Also if you click on comment before it puts the comment after the move regardless if you comment on white or black's move. And right clicking to put in an annotation I was unable to see any of the annotations it's just white space. Screen shot below. Also reported via bug report tool.
