It takes a bit of time to load the 3d pieces, but I like the retro style options on it.

Very cool.

I like it EXCEPT ... there's no undo/takeback. Wink

Looks really nice, except the 3D pieces. I have a minor question: why is it that free members have acces to those nice textures for board colours in Play the Computer, but not in live chess?

Also, I think it would be easier to read most stuff on this site if the default font size was a tad bigger.

I like it a lot!  Just a quick question (though this might not be the place to ask it).  I see a lot of chess computer programs that are give ratings, and the medium level on the chess.com play against the computer is "~ 1600."  How does one arrive at these ratings?  Are they meant to simulate over-the-board ratings, chess.com's rating system, or some computer rating system of which I am totally unaware?

Have you make it?

I quite like it, the last was a bit ugly & elderly-look, with more openings (now it always uses the grunfeld) and PGN file to save will be perfect. Also it would be nice if you can save the preferences ( I don't see anything with the 3-D pieces )

Thanks!

Agreed, this is really nice, but I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that it would be great if there was a way for your settings to be saved -- before you could just change the settings and bookmark the resulting URL. An option to save the games would also be nice.

Quick bug report. I haven't tried it out in other browsers yet (I'm using Chrome now), but sometimes it seems to crash on me, usually around 20 or 30 moves in. It'll get stuck on  "Computer thinking" and I'll have to reload the page. Anyone else have this issue?

HUH??

 


 Great work Mina. But can you please check why the computer is taking so long thinking about slavesRus01 move. Was it that smart? :-)

Great work, love the new look!

Froze on me after 4 moves -- say's "computer thinking".  (I'm using IE8).

The board looks much nicer than the previous play vs. computer, but seems like there may be some bugs.
