Hey Chess.com team 👋
I wanted to suggest (or rather, re-suggestion) that the Battle Animations feature be brought back. This feature allows you to choose from animation styles like Slow, Medium, Fast, Natural, and Arcade.
I remember this was once available on the site, but at some point, it disappeared. I’m not sure why — maybe it was too demanding on the servers or mainframe at the time. But it was honestly a great little feature that made the experience more personal and fun.
Even if it can't be the default across the board, it would be amazing to see it return as an optional setting — kind of like how you can choose your piece sets, boards, and sounds. It added a cool dynamic to the game interface, and I know a lot of players appreciated the flair and customization it brought.
Would love to hear if there’s any chance of this being brought back or reintroduced in a lightweight form!
Cheers!@JosephReidNZ
