Hi I do play bullet and live games from time to time. And one feature wich is absolute important is that you can "pick up you piece" and hold it over a wanted square. Waiting for opponent. You hold it by not releasing the button on the mouse. Something have happend to this. If you "pick up a piece" for more than 1 sec its automaticly dropped back to old position.... In V2 it works normall again. But not in v3. I belive its a bug. PS: It worked some hours ago... but now. its hopeless to play bullet. Device used is PC;

Hey all. Haven't you had some problems with "Drills?" I did. There was Two-Bishop Mate unlocked for everyone, but now, it is for premium users only. Why? (I put a screenshot for you to see this problem.)

On the Chess.com Android app, if you are halfway through a lesson and the phone switches from portrait to landscape mode (and then back again), the lesson restarts from the beginning and all progress is lost.

We promised that v3 would allow us to do amazing things. You've seen some of them already with new features like Computer Analysis and Bughouse. The next big thing? Staying connected to Live whenever and wherever you are on the site. What in the world does that mean if you're not actually playing? It means that your friends no longer have to be in Live to challenge them to a live game. It means you can keep an open chat going with friends or your favorite club anywhere on the site. Would you like to know whenever your favorite GM starts up a blitz game? How about watch the top games or events without having to connect to Live first to find them. We are considering making changes to our navigation to make all of this possible, and can use your thoughts and feedback.  Play For play, you'll notice a bit play button at the top. That will default to the last format you played. If that's you're favorite format, you're ready to roll. If not, switching that is a quick click away. That's nothing too cool though. The cool part is at the bottom where it shows your friends who online and ready to be challenged.     Watch Next up is a new nav section called Watch. You can find videos here, see what's streaming on ChessTV, and all the top games being played at the moment.     Clubs Over the next couple of years, Clubs will become more fun and a more integral part of your daily Chess.com experience. It's only fitting that you would have ready access to your favorite clubs, right?     Chat Last of the new items is Chat. This is my favorite because it will help us all stay better connected. From this menu, you can start up a chat window with any of your friends (with their permission) or open the chat for your favorite club.     What does a chat window look like? It's a window that you pop open or closed that is fixed to the bottom right side of your browser.     What do you think? Worth building?

I have not seen any vote chess alerts for a long time, so I went to check if I had ready vote chess games that it was my move in, and I did. there is know alert setting to turn on vote chess alerts.

Hey all.  I wanted to drop a note here and let everyone know we rolled out a brand new Home for everyone in the beta group.  If you didn't notice it that's actually intentional  We have heard loud and clear the people who have complained about the performance of the new Chess.com.  We are working extremely hard on fixing this and Home is our first finished product.  So everyone in the beta group let us know what you think, does Home feel a lot faster for you?  Have you found any bugs?  If you do please report them and let us know.  We would love to roll this out to everyone on chess.com.  And we are working super hard to bring these better performance to the rest of the site.

I'm trying to embed Twitch's code for Simon's video on my translation of this article. The preview is quite fine and it appears there, however, when I click "Post", it vanishes! Lemme test here: It should be above this phrase. Here's the code whihich I got directly from copy+paste from the video embed code: <iframe src="https://clips.twitch.tv/embed?clip=ShakingFaintDragonfruitDoggo&autoplay=false" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe>

PLEASE FIX ASAP I almost lost content because bans are NOT WORKING.

Sometimes when I post a comment in (e.g vote chess chat or tournament chat) some letters at the end of the last word are deleted? Please fix as it's very annoying having to go back and edit my comment (very rarely if a few letters get deleted even after I edit it, some letters still get deleted) thx

Is there a bug with the invites? I just tried to invite 30 people to my club. I got no confirmation after hitting the "do" button, seemed like a bar was going to load at the top but all of a sudden it flashed and sent me back to the club's home. I went back to the invite screen and it says I still got 30 invites. Means no one was invited, right? :/

I suggested this before but was somewhat wishy-washy about it. I've come to regret my lack of insistence. I would like v3 to reintroduce the "preview" feature in forum posts. I very much like to examine any post I am writing prior to publishing it. Not having an opportunity to preview a game is particularly uncomfortable. Since this feature still works in blogs and articles (but not very well in v2 for me anymore), I've been putting my post in one of those for a chance to preview it before actually publishing it in the forums - an extremely time-consuming work-around.

For all who like to encourage their team members with trophies and sometimes miss an important one, feel free to share Hopefully the creative department find this forum and set them into practise!

A place for members to socialize and have fun without cluttering group notes. ;-)

There must be computer analysis available after a vote chess game finished.

Eseles Just now All this information is better to be preserved in a thread playerafar 21 min ago @Newba Welcome. I've noticed that staff don't seem that enthused about members turning off unnecessary programs on their computers. Including background services and other "silent" programs. But many of these programs access the internet! Is this Forum the right place to discuss all the stuff that should be shut down on one's computer? If not - I guess I'll be "shut down" soon ... Newba 1 hr ago Thank you @playerafar and @Commander_Riker. These are very useful info. I used to finish stuff in my old computers.. Didn't think I'd need to do that on the new one, since it is way better than my previous ones, however, it seems like a Windows "must do" thing. [= playerafar 1 hr ago Another one that's relatively easy - besides Start/Run/msconfig/Startup - is Start/Control Panel/Programs and Features - and at left there's a button: Turn Windows Features On and Off. Almost everything there can be unchecked. I'm thinking one might keep Internet Explorer 11 checked - for WIndows Update. And maybe .Net Framework. Which apparently does pertain to sound somehow ... playerafar 1 hr ago @Commander_Riker I agree msconfig can be run - and pointless junk in the Startup tab can all be turned off (but don't turn off the Antivirus there) ... but there's also a Services tab in msconfig. Apparently - that's not a good place to adjust Services. Nor is Task Manager. Much better to access Services through Run/services.msc ... or through Start/Administrative Tools/Services. Many of them should obviously be Disabled. Others not so obvious. Commander_Riker 2 hrs ago Anybody can run msconfig from the run menu or on later versions like Win10 using a DOS bov. The biggest problem are in the startup Tap. I'm not saying to randomly uncheck programs that start up and run in the back ground but there can be lot of things there that are not required. Those programs run in the background and can slow your system beyond belief. playerafar 2 hrs ago Now I know this sounds corny ... but if more people all over the place started simplifying their connections - and turning off/disabling junk Windows services like "Workstation" and "Server" (and the awful "Remote Registry") and so on - could this actually cause an overall improvement in the site's total Data Throughput/Bandwidth/latency and so on? Maybe the Data people would say "No way - no difference". But how could that not be? playerafar 2 hrs ago @Newba CCleaner has a lot of extras in their Pro (paid) versions. Which I've never tried. Anyway - to get to Connection Properties - I tried it again just now. I left-clicked my wifi button - then right-clicked on the actual wifi I'm on. There was a "Status" option in the dropdown. Then I clicked "Properties". And there it is in all its glory. I've kept five of the seven boxes unchecked. Newba 2 hrs ago @playerafar I uncheck too. I think CCleaner has some stuff to avoid initializing unnecessary executables. But I'll try to do that stuff you told me. playerafar 3 hrs ago Windows is marketed for business computer networks. So there's a whole bunch of extra stuff running - that's wrong for Home standalone computers. Anyway - regarding Connection Properties - does one really need "Client for Microsoft Networks" and "File and Printer Sharing"? You'd probably find they're checked in the Connection Properties. Maybe computer-savvy people here would say it doesn't make any difference if you uncheck them ... or that you shouldn't. I uncheck everything I can - playerafar 3 hrs ago @Newba All home Windows computers have lots of stuff in them that's not needed. Both within Windows itself - and stuff that the computer manufacturer bundles in too. I have disabled/uninstalled about 95% of the manufacturer stuff on my computer - and over 60% of the Windows stuff. That helps lots - but it can't get rid of all the lag. Regarding connections - there's a whole lot of stuff in Connections Properties. Staff here probably knows tons about it. More next. Newba 3 hrs ago @VirtualKnightJoakim, I like online chess but unfortunately sometimes you don't want to wait a whole day in order for your opponent to play. xD Plus live chess is real chess, while online chess is correspondence. But yea, I like both, it's just that I really enjoy playing 1 min bullet, ever since when I was at chesscube. I still enjoy it for the fun of it, but with lag it is impossible to play that game mode. Newba 3 hrs ago @playerafar that could be the matter. Plus, my home PC has lots of stuff in it, and it could have many processes. I just wish I had a way to stop those processes and play with less lag. VirtualKnightJoakim 3 hrs ago I prefer online games where a little lag is not an issue ;-) playerafar 3 hrs ago @Newba In other words - your computers at work have much less lag? Maybe they're hardwired to the internet - no dishes nor wifi and things like that involved ... Newba 3 hrs ago I think one big factor of incluence is the distance between the player and the server. I mean, I'm down here at BR, so it might take longer. However I'm pretty noob (can't remember a good word) on those matters... And I found this somewhat big difference between playing at home and playing on my work computers, which, by the way, have previous windows versions. playerafar 3 hrs ago And/or - a player's clock runs after he's moved. Including even after a premove. Moreso than his opponent's. If I had to guess - this is the biggest culprit. All gamer issues - V3 issues - connection issues - need to address that. playerafar 3 hrs ago Even when premoving. Exactly. And how many possibilities are there within that issue? Even if your clock and your opponent's clock start exactly when they should (which does not seem to be the case) - if more time elapses after He has moved - then he gets extra time to consider the position. But it appears to be worse than that. A player's clock runs before he gets his move. His opponent's doesn't - or less so. Newba 4 hrs ago I have ping troubles on my home computer.. I lose about 0.2 seconds, even when I premove in advance. Here at work, computers have a lesser operational system, but ping is almost perfect. I dunno what's the appropriate browser also, for playing live games. I take Mozilla as being not lol. It seems too heavy. Do you know where could I look in order to better my issues in that matter? Browser, bandwidth, op. system etc? Newba 4 hrs ago My ping at home is really a bummer.. I lose 0.2 seconds or such, even when I premove. MGleason 4 hrs ago You can check both ping and bandwidth at a site such as speedtest.net. Commander_Riker 10 hrs ago Indeed the Ping dosn't take Bandwidth in consideration. Even Internet speed tests can be misleading as the Bandwidth isn't considered. playerafar 18 hrs ago Better ping helps. But I've seen low ping numbers - like 25 ping for example - and still had lag problems. Newba 19 hrs ago Thanks guys. I'll try that system for playing live matches. Hope it is quicker, I got lots of lag on windows but if it is ONLY connection related then I won't get better ping I guess.. MGleason 1 day ago Yeah, it depends on your hardware. My laptop could probably cope without too much trouble. Commander_Riker 1 day ago I wouldn't recommend running V3 in a virtual machine unless you have a multi core processor with lots of fast memory as it will be running from the hard drive and not in fast memory. It could make it a lot slower ??? MGleason 1 day ago You can also use one as your primary OS and run the other in a virtual machine. That'll be a bit slower if you have a low-end computer, but it will save you rebooting every time you want to switch OS's. DBowcott 2 days ago Yes you can make a partition and have the two systems sitting on each. Or you could use an external drive, or even a secondary. Newba 2 days ago Thanks @DBowcott. Can I make a partition for using Ubuntu, and let another use Windows? If so, I would really want to navigate on Ubuntu, and let the Windows one for playing games.

I did a translation on the Live Club Matches, however, I couldn't precisely mirror the news, since there was no way for me to centralize the images while leaving text to the left. Whenever I tried aligning images, whether by clicking them or selecting them, it would just ignore my clicking, or show nothing selected at the Align options, or even align BOTH image and the text above it. It is a bit annoying for us bloggers/translators. Ain't no big deal, no one'll die or get sick due to this issue, but the perfectionism within my soul cries out loud and I get swallowed by a glimpse of endless oblivion, bathed in my drained soul imbalance. What I did is leave the images to the left, along with the text. It is still nice but I wish I could have done it just like in the official blog.

I sent a bug report on this, but got to thinking maybe I'm just overlooking something. Before, I could do things such as "set focus" by right-clicking on the move. I could also add text by jut typing it in. Now I can do neither. In order to make it work, I've been doing posting the game in a blog in v2,/setting the focus, etc./saving it as a preview/ switching back to v3/ going into edit-mode to copy/ deleting the blog post/ pasting the game were I originally wanted it/ changing the "style" to a v3 style (I can't do all this in the forum since there is no preview option there - but even if there was, as there should be, it would be a time-consuming work-around, just less time-consuming). Am I missing some other way to "set focus" or add text other than putting it in the original pgn?
