Suggestion: like you people added the ukraine flairs and blacked out the russia flag, why dont you people add palestine flairs and black out the israel flags? 

I want something that allows you to play 50 rated games at a time and concentrate.

When i tap on connect discord, the link is not loading. Is anyone else also facing this problem? And how to solve it? 

i am trying to make a rated tournament but i could not do it. Rated is off, i am trying to turn it on it is not moving 

Can you people please bring back the previous game review UI? Or atleast give us an option which one to use 

Hey guys its Hridya So, I have a suggestion and would love to hear your thoughts on it So, when we click on the profile option, we will be able to see how many people follows us and how many people viewed our profile. So, I suggest that when we click on followers, we should be able to see the people who follows us and when we click on views, we should be able to see who all viewed our profile Thank you Regards Hridya

So say you lost internet connection in the middle of a game. Instead of auto resign I think it should instead be converted into a 3 day daily game respectful to how much time the player had left with no vacations. So (i'm not doing the math here) if you had one second left from a 15 minute game the daily game gives you an hour to work with. Where as if you had 15 minutes you'd get the full 3 days.  FInally, if both players agree (within five or something minutes), they can bring the game back to a non daily format and play it out.

I tried to post quite a sizeable amount of content in a single forum post yesterday and the post-editor wouldn't accept it. I don't think it was any larger than other posts I've created recently but the only way it could be posted was to split it between two posts! That gave me an uncomfortable feeling of déjà vu because this is how things used to be before about six or seven (/eight?) years ago when there was a strict limit on the size of a club forum post - around 65KBytes if i remember. There was never an equivalent limit on News, so I used to post stuff there instead but it wasn't ideal. Has the site decided to bring that back and if so, why? It was a huge relief when that limit was relaxed because I could finally fit everything into one post instead of this messy splitting up. Anybody else experienced this problem yet?

Hey guys! Why doesn't chess.com limit club admins? Because: One day, I saw a club, =-= all members were admins. My second question is: Why doesn't chess.com filter out useless clubs? For example, if a stupid kid tries to fake his own club, there will be drama to survive the day. . Thirdly, the club rules say you shouldn't spam and swear, but there are still a few months when kids spam and lag their computers and swear at the club,... chess.com only handles a few cases, what's wrong? Probably some of the same reasons makes low-quality clubs, right? If you're an admin, you have to have clear conditions, but when a kid breaks the club and becomes an admin, what will happen to the club?

Can the minimum age for becoming a moderator be changed to 16? 

I used to be part of this popular club, then someday I chose to leave it; and now I can't rejoin it again. My proposal is to have Chess.com staff and officials administrate this club (@ChessCOM [an automated user] will still be the SA). By doing this, others who quit the Chess.com Legends Club can rejoin without any issue. Additionally, the staff can deny requests of those who haven't reached the Legends League. That way, more members who qualified for the Legends League (who found themselves in my situation) can regain pride in being part of this cool group. I hope this idea is deeply considered and eventually put in place...

we should have a contest

When you play the MrBeast bot, the light and dark squares reverse

When people solve puzzles, after they get the puzzle wrong, they lose rating (if they got it wrong on the first try). However, sometimes, people may missclick, accidentally losing rating. In fact, this happened to me today, at 3005 puzzle rating, I missclicked my queen, and my rating plummeted 15 rating to 2990.  Missclicks happen, and I understand I should've been more careful.  However, sometimes, when people get a puzzle wrong, they may just look at the solution, or and just bruteforce the answer.  If we make it so that you could get a percentage of the initial rating that would've been gained, such as 50%, if you get the puzzle correct on the first try, this will create more of an incentive to do the puzzle. This maybe should still be quite low, as to avoid bruteforce, but I think that it's benefits outweights it's downsides.  If i had to be specific, I would suggest:  1st try: 100% 2nd try: 40% 3rd try: 10% All rounded to the closest whole number What do you think? 

We are struggling to make a tournament

When I go to "Analysis" of a daily game and I try to right click (e.g. in order to add a comment), sometimes also when I left click, on a move (beyond the first move) in a variation I have added, then the browser partially crashes: The browser won't allow any more any keyboard input, including Ctrl-R to reload the page. But I can click on a piece on the board and then e.g. the Cursor keys work again. I can click on the moves 16....xxx from black, but not on any further move. E.g., when I click on 17.Bc5 or on 17...Qe6 where I wanted to add an "?" annotation, the Browser freezes and accepts no more input. (weird, the screenshot shows when I edit but not when I "Post". It can be found here: https://pasteboard.co/m7KRhGhLw2mD.png) I can also see several Error messages in the developer console (Ctrl-Shift-i) : (weird, the screenshot above shows when I edit but not when I "Post". It can be found here: https://pasteboard.co/p5JRplez4xIM.png) (sometimes I had many more error messages but can't reproduce right now).

I would like it if I could have all/some of the features that the PC players have. Such as all the variants of chess to mess around with… and drawing all those arrows on the board 

So if I want to see who is streaming or playing in the watch tap ( hovering over it ) I dont see anythingpls fix the bug or lag that is causing it Thank you!!

Legend. The highest division of all, reserved for the best of players -  What do you mean 500's can get in?  I, personally believe the divisions need re-working. The current system makes sense, if you play often you should get in. However, towards the higher divisions, players intentionally grind all day, to rank up.  I have been on this journey myself, and I got into legend division by getting over 1.7k points!  However, I feel this system, has gotten slightly out of hand. One should not be scared to leave their room, play sports or talk to their family, because they are trying to rank up.  While those examples were slightly exaggerated, I feel a reasonable quantity of people may experience something similar.  Lower ranked players might be encouraged to sandbag to get easier games, the point of the system is falling out, and I'm lost.  So, I have a proposition.  Let's look at who you are playing. Oh, you're playing me in bullet! I just ranked up to 1600 . Take away the two numbers at the back, and look at the number you have. If you beat them, that how many points you get. I do understand that bullet, blitz and rapid acquire different points as you require more or less time, so we could multiply it by the current measurements.  Please understand I don't hate on the system but I believe that maybe the system could be improved to not just focusing on being consistent, but also trying to improve.  I do understand that making multiple accounts could exploit this trick, but I feel a 1000 beating a 2100 hundreds of times in a row. Who beat a 1500 hundreds of times in a row. Who beat the same 1000...  Please leave your suggestions below

All of a sudden, Vote Chess has become very buggy and I don't know why. First, when there is a tie vote, the moves are not showing up in the right order of who voted first. The most recently voted move is supposed to be on top because that's the move that gets played. But for some reason, that's not always what's happening. Second, the players who voted for a specific move do not always appear when I click on that move. Sometimes the list does appear, but other times it's blank. What the heck is with all the bugs?
