I would like to introduce a custom pieces set to the game, discussing it with the support now, but they don’t have access to the usage statistics  is this something you (devs) have? Also would you be able to recommend exact file extension (png, svg) and if not vector - dimensions     thank you! -Geo

Yesterday was OK. Today showing rubbish Example match https://www.chess.com/club/matches/1563907/games  https://api.chess.com/pub/match/1563907  Results missing from boards in API endpoint Player andrewmoulden won as white but result as black (drawn) not in endpoint.  "username":"andrewmoulden","stats":"https://api.chess.com/pub/player/andrewmoulden/stats","timeout_percent":0,"status":"premium","played_as_white":"win","board":"https://api.chess.com/pub/match/1563907/5"}, Not a unique situation. many matches show same issue.

Hello. I think it might be good to bring back the follow button whenever you are spectating a game. It might be good so you don't have to press the "watch" over and over again. Please consider my opinion.

Why don't these agree? It's been pointed out to me that the timeout rates for two player in the following match don't agree with the figures given in the web pages:- https://api.chess.com/pub/match/1654189 "username": "irijeteveliova", "rating": 1183, "timeout_percent": 25 (web page shows Timeouts: 7.94% Last 90 days) . "username": "ljuba1009", "rating": 1231, "timeout_percent": 100 (web page shows Timeouts: 10.59% Last 90 days)They can't both be right so why does the endpoint in each case disagree so widely with the web page data?

I came across this anomaly in the web/endpoint data.... @DorinN69: https://www.chess.com/member/dorinn69 Last online: Jul 5, 2024 but: https://api.chess.com/pub/player/dorinn69 "last_online":1715970154 That translates as: 17/May/2024 So which is it?

So I'm developing my first app and wanted to check if I can post a link here for it (probably not) bu just wanted to see if i could just ask if anybody has any suggestions for it and provide some context (I think I'm allowed to say it's not chess-related) as I'm a first-time coder. Thank you!

when i ever load an analysis that has a strong computer it dosent show if the move is good or bad

If you know the username of a player, you can find his/her user_id simply in the player endpoint. Is there some way to do this the other way round: finding the username that corresponds to a given player_id?

I am currently working on the world's largest database of OTB games. So far I'm at 17gb+ zipped! The project won't be done for some time, but If anybody has any OTB games from a local tournament or event I'd be more than happy to add them. Thanks.

I have a frame on the website available to my students that would allow them to solve the daily puzzle, but it is no longer presenting.  The frame is now just a plain white box.  I am not sure how to fix this at this point.  I did see a posting on another forum, but no responses.  I had read how to do this on the support portion of the site at one point, but can no longer find it. My students are in a VERY restricted environment and I can only allow certain websites because of that.  If anyone has an idea...I had sent in a help desk ticket, but got a reply to post here.

A friend and I are trying to make a chessboard that is able to move the opponent pieces and register your own moves. We now only need to have the information of the opponent in coördinates form, for example: a2-a4. Then we need to get this in our Arduino so it can move the piece. Does anybody have any idea how we could do this? We aren't very advanced programmers so the simpler the better!

Hey everyone.I want to allow users to invite their chess.com friends to use my website through OAuth (I've already set up OAuth and everything). It does not look like there is a way to do this via the chess.com DM system, correct?What alternatives do you guys recommend to invite friends over to the website? For every user, I have a list of chess.com usernames that I'd like my user to be able to invite.Thanks

I have an idea for a chess bot Name: tom Elo: 100 Reason: for those who cant beat martin

Hello guys, I woild like to share an idea I'm trying to work on, about the "almost automatic" creation of simple ebooks (let's call them cheat sheets) for the most common opening. I am writing it in Python and, based on a structured file, the program create an epub files, with either board images, text, etc.. It is in a very early stage, but it would be nice to hear your comment! This is an example of the parsed file: Title - Caro KannOrientation_white - FalseMove - e4Move - c6RenderText - The opening starts with white e4 and black respond with c6 to prepare the next move d5Move - d4RenderText - White replies with d4Move - d5RenderText - Black responds with d5 to attack white pawn on e4. White has two options, capture black pawn on d5 or push pawn to e5Move - e5RenderText - Pushed pawn to e5BackMoveRenderText - Back to previous positionMove - exd5RenderText - White capture on d5 The commands structure is easy, and self explanatory. And here the result https://www.mediafire.com/file/r0q16dpzep1q1lg/test.epub/file On my iPad it appears nice and perfectly readable.

I have few questions about Truncated Compact Notation and searching for tcn does not produce any results in the forums. Does chess.com provide any documentation for tcn? Does a character in tcn has a associated move in PGN? For example, C is e2 is there a a character that says exd5? Thank you

I'm new here and I just finished reading the README and some of the current threads. I was simply wondering about the status of the interactive API, as I couldn't find much detail on it. Is it still being actively developed? Has an official developer application process been established? Is there currently a tentative release date? Any answers that you may have would be really helpful and much appreciated.
