Chess.com Feature Request and Wishlist #4

I'd love to see that feature using the ECO code.

What was the update for?

1. To force members to stop playing chess and (re-)start partying?

2. To fix a year-rollover bug whereby everybody whose rating was 2009 found their rating halved?

I think unrated Tactics Trainer puzzles should work a bit like the daily puzzles; an incorrect move should simply prompt an "Incorrect: Try again" instead of an end to the puzzle and having to reload and restart the puzzle all over again.

abortionessay.com? lol

this is so amzing ,......

ERIC,  A GREAT JOB  YOU  HAVE  DONE,

I'D LIKE TO  SEE IF THERE WAS A WAY WE CAN SEARCH  OPENINGS THAT  I  WANT TO  LEARN

OR  MAYBE  OTHER  MEMBER WOULD BE INTERESTED.

BUT  ALL IN GOOD TIME,  THANKS AGAIN

The green command toolbar on chess.com that appears at the top of every page

is fantastic for providing access (via dropdown menus) to virtually all of the site's facilities.

The links at the bottom of every page, however, are virtually invisible.

Very few people are aware of them until they are pointed out by someone else. There is seldom a need to scroll to the bottom of the screen. Would it be a good idea to provide a copy of these bottom-of-page links as a dropdown menu to a new command toolbar item EXTRAS at the TOP of every page - alongside PLAY LEARN READ etc. ?

i  agree with  knightnothorse  and  the  rest of the  affirmative members

                     thanks  tony from jersey shore  antne003

I had an idea that I don't know if anybody has ever tried...and I don't know if it's even worth it to consider it: has anyone ever come up with variations of chess boards? Such as creating a board that has one or two additional boards worth of space, or squares, extending either the ranks, (an extra board on either side), or the files, (an extra board in the middle), or some other variation? (I suppose the only variation I've ever seen was Dr. Spock's multi-tiered board on Star Trek, and I've never seen anyone playing that kind of variation in real life.)

It has been considered previously. This website  http://www.chessvariants.com contains details of hundreds of chess variants. This is just their top-level menu ...

• Three dimensional chess variants: Star Trek and others
  
• Hexagonal chess variants
  
• Round boards
  
• Other boards with an unusual shape
  
• Oriental chess variants: Xiangqi (Chinese Chess), Shogi (Japanese Chess), variants, other oriental chess variants.
  
• Historic chess variants: The first predecessor of chess: Chaturanga, Shatranj, and other chess variants from ancient times.
  
• Multi player variants: Chess with 3, 4, 6, 7 or any number of players.
  
• Small chess variants: Chess on board of size 4 by 8, 6 by 6, etc.
  
• Large chess variants: Chess on boards of 9 by 9 or larger.
  

Thanks for the info

That's a neat idea.

One primitive way to do it would be to cite the game reference e.g.

Better still, if the game reference could include a MOVE NUMBER e.g.

http://www.chess.com/echess/game.html?id=12148699?move=16?comment="what's the longest no. of moves that two queens have been en prise from each other?"

so that a board was opened at the specific position when you clicked on the link. These would be like footnotes (or annotations) that you could choose to enable on your own games. 

How about improving video search? eg. type in the exact title of the video to find it.

Russ.

There have been a number of fascinating discussions about chess variants on chess.com e.g.

ARTREF: CHESS VARIANT DISCUSSIONS

Not sure if this was said, but it'd be cool to be able to choose real-life tournament time settings in live chess, for practice.

Like Bruiser419 said so say 20mins for 40moves with 20mins incresment after 40move completion

I dont get it!!

In List of Countries & Members there is:Yugoslavia, Serbia-Montenegro. . .There is no country of yugoslavia and the other one like there is no country of Soviet Union . . .This is not complicated sitution like with Western Sahara.(there can be group of yugoslavia but no country of bla bla . . .)
