Hi, everyone! I am (not) new here and I want to show u guys my ideas for chess.com, so, I have created the series "My Ideas". (Note: You can create a new series based on this but pls, before u post it, use your username in the title, so that everyone knows.)

 #1.

Ok, my idea for the topic...

If you don't know, when you enter the 404 page of chess.com ( chess.com/404 ), you will see a board of checkers. And though how much u try to move the pieces, it's unplayable.

Ok, u maybe thinking:

" So, your idea is to ask for the board to moveable and can play with a bot? Boring.... "

Well:

1. This is CHESS.com

2. Calm down!

So my idea is, chess.com sometimes restarts the server in Live Chess, while it on maintenance, chess.com should occupy the user and at least put a minigame in it. Look at Lichess.org. They had built a minigame on a 404 page and while they waited for the problem to solve, the user can play and kept him/her busy. 

Now you may ask, why don't put it on the 404 page instead???

Well, because, at some point, you will get addicted to the minigame, and you will visit the page more often and spend too much time on the game and will get bored on other things like puzzles and playing chess games. But the maintenance, however, will happen only times when need, so u can still enjoy the game while waiting, but don't play too much of it.

Thanks for reading and if u like the idea, give me a thumbs up (thumbup.png), but if u disagree with me, say your opinion in the chat and if I can, will change it if u right, else I will remind u. And I hope the staff read this and think of it.

See u on "My Ideas: No.2"!

At least not with generic titles. Also, @GMSimonChess you should first see if it has been suggested before.

I have an idea.  Don't pay any attention to any ideas from someone whose username begins with GM when they are not a GM.
