Bar With "Enables Premoves", "Auto-Queen" and "Confirm Resign" Gone?

Sort:
doublesaysports

Up until yesterday, all of my games had a bar on the right side above the previous moves and it showed three main options, enabling premoves, auto-queening, and confirming resign. Sometimes I turn these settings on and off even during the course of a single game, so it was easy and helpful having it right there instead of opening settings, clicking the game settings tab, adjusting it, and saving it, which could cost crucial time on the clock and is just overall a pain in the neck. I noticed yesterday, this bar was gone and I could only change those settings by going through the aforementioned long process. Am I missing something, or was something actually taken out?

I am a new player and have played several games. I won but still can’t find the resign link using my IPad or Mac Air on chess.com. This is really a concern. I checked on settings and still no IOS bars to open. You seem to have a similar problem but able to “resign”. Can you tell me what might be happening? I emailed Tech Support and they gave no hint how long it will take for responses to be given due to staffing. Any help before attempting another game. I don’t want to be unsportsmanlike. Thanks

On the iPad app, tap the four-line button. You should see a resign option.

With a web browser, there should be a flag button for resignation.

I found it below my name and feel better about starting a game. Thank you and forum for the help.

I don't see those switches in live chess either. It looks like they were removed.

They were removed.

Apparently staff decided to remove it. I asked if it was gone on purpose and was told it was.

why would they remove something that was pretty helpful? i doubt it could have created many if any problems on the backend of things

It was apparently a design decision.

Hold down ALT on your keyboard and move the pawn to the promotion square.

the design is almost the exact same minus an extremely convenient part of the website. i don't understand it, but that's why they don't pay me the big bucks

Unless I'm missing something, if you have won the game you can't resign.
