Would it be possible for a "look for this position in the game explorer" button be added to each game instead of going back and forth between games entering multiple moves in each time?
#24 on Erik's Wishlist-4: Game Explorer - search for a position
As DeepGreene expressed it in Wishlist#3: "in the analysis board and/or the main e-chess game display ("Moves" or "Details" tab), would be a one-click check for the current position in the Game Explorer."
For Team Matches, could there be options to balance the strength of teams between large groups and small groups? In addition to
I would like to see:
I've got another idea, and I know I've had quite a few now :P
This site already has a sort of trophies system, but this could be so much much more. Anyone here with an Xbox 360 knows how the achievements system works. Once you accomplish a certain goal, you get what is called achievement points. For example, if you beat a game you may get 50 points or if you accomplish some difficult task you might get 10.
You can have a similar system here with all kinds of different goals to accomplish. For example, if you win 5 games in a row you could get some sort of achievement and a certain number of points. If you win 10 games in a row, you get another achievement with even more points. If you solve X number of tactics correctly or have XX% total correct you could also get points. There's literally hundreds of things that could award points. What do you think of that?
Excellent idea.
What about some new trophies?
I want a trophy with a kid kicking a guy in the crotch... the trophy can be titled "cheap shot"
Hi everyone. first of all i'd like to thank the organizers of this great website, Erik and the staff, my deepest gratitude to all of you...
Here's my suggestion: addition of "thumbs up" & "thumbs down" to the comments & posts of every member like the one in youtube. and connecting it to your points system. because i've observed some posts and comments are just being posted to gain more points, they're more like spam...not constructive at all (even offensive) including the new posts. it could then be like ur comment or post may increase or decrease ur points depending on the number of thumbs up or down u get. IMO this will oblige the members who want to comment to post helpful comments since their number of points is gonna be affected. furthermore, a comment reaching a certain number of thumbs down can automatically get hidden or deleted.
The other worhy to mention thing is the stability or the performance of live chess, because i've been suffering from numurous disconnections in winning positions. i'm sure there are many other members the same, too.
Thank you very much...

Great minds think alike! This is number #21 on Erik's list: Forum posts moderated by users (like digg.com)
Loomis expressed it thus: There are other forums on the internet where users can rate responses in a thread with a thumbs up or a thumbs down and then responses with negative responses are hidden (they can be expanded by the reader). I'm sure plenty of people would "thumbs down" the posts on the daily puzzle that just say "I'm first". Then 1) these posts wouldn't get in people's way and 2) people would stop making them.
Maybe this could help clean up the forums a bit.
Onosson expressed it in this way (in Wishlist#3): Some sort of forum comment moderation system, A la Slashdot.com. I know that would be probably be a huge undertaking, but this is a "wish" list!
Here you go bro!
These suggestions all address Conditional Moves and Analysis Board.
I would like integration between the analysis board and conditional moves. For example, I would like an option where a player could make a string of moves on the analysis board, and then start that string of moves as the players acutal move, and any additonal moves create a conditional move.
Some intergration between the analysis board and Notes would also be helpful. I would love to have the option to save an a board into "notes". This way I can later review strings of moves. Merely an option to "paste to notes' would work. And then a way to implement these notes back into moves or conditional moves.
An analysis board that tracks material would also be nice.
Lastly a more robust options in creating conditional moves would be appreciated. I would enjoy anything that would decrease the amount of repetitious or nearly identical conditional moves. Options such as sub-conditional moves or wild-card moves would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

As always thanks ERIK!

Erik is way ahead of the game! From Wishlist#4 ...
#3. Improve conditional moves (add in draw, wildcard, ajax, opening book, etc)
#4. Analysis board -> conditional moves
This is how these features were described in Wishlist #3:

If the analysis board could be used on previous completed games to explore move in the middle of the games rather than only being able to explore from the last move of a game. If that's what was meant by "open PGN editor and analysis board" then apologies for the repetition. |

It would also be nice to be able to play hypothetical lines starting from a previous position, which is currently not allowed [on the Analysis Board] |

Moves made on the analysis board can become the next move and conditional move(s). |

A blank board where you can set up different positions and work them out yourself. Kind of like an analysis board on steroids. |

Spawn an analysis board that picks up the position and history of any of the puzzle, game or diagram boards in the forums |

Practice Board - this seems like an oversight but I think every page should have a link to open up a chess board with no constraints on it. This means you could move the pieces anywhere and in any order to look at different positions or whatever. This would be particularly helpful in the forums to work on puzzle ideas or to examine ideas about which someone has written. This would ideally be in addition to the analysis board which is great. Maybe it could have all the pieces on the side and you could drag them onto the board. |

"add to notes" (button) directly from analysis board: where you play out a line you are thinking of playing against your opponent and when you click add to notes it automatically writes down the algebraic moves that you have analysed from the current position! |

Analysis Board moves converted into Conditional Moves automatically. |

Here is a suggestion to help manage chatroom violations in live chess.
Notice how nobody wants to use the off-topic or open discussion rooms?
I think the reason is that the agitators want to be where the people are.
Perhaps there should be two main halls, and when players log in, they are randomly assigned to one hall or the other. I think this might dilute some of the unwanted discussion and spamming.
Of course, it may dilute the ability of volunteers to moderate things too.
Thoughts anyone?
When you explore games and set criteria to master games only there should be a way to eliminate games from children.(for example: Ch Baden-Wuerttemberg (juniors) (under 11) - Spanish Game: Pollock Defense (C60) - 1-0). Because when you are looking and exploring master games you want to have really master moves that are represented and not games and moves from 6 year lod child.
Maybe I'm blind and can't find it but I think a list of links to my current votechess games and team matches would be extremely handy. Its a real pain trying to find my way to these areas without this.
The search function would give much better results if it only cached the contents of the thread itself and not the other panes on the page -- This is especially a problem with the "Most Recent Posts" pane which really causes a lot of the returned results to be invalid for the search terms used.
An anti scourging buton!
Artfizz: With respect to post 235, I'm not sure those are my words -- in fact, they're in direct opposition to why I'd initially requested integration of the analysis board and conditional moves interfaces. You can find my original suggestion in post 239 of Wishlist #2 (one post above the one linked below):
http://www.chess.com/forum/view/community/feature-requests-and-wishlist-thoughts-2?page=7#last_comment
My apologies for misrepresenting you - by my paraphrase.
This is what you wrote: I've asked for something similar in the past, only instead of "add to notes" I was looking for an "add as conditional line" feature. in response to this:

Is this simply laziness?
...probably

Wishlist#2 is locked - and it won't let me read beyond posting #224 - so I can't access post #239. Could you clarify how "Analysis Board moves converted into Conditional Moves automatically." differs from what you actually want?
Would it be possible for a "look for this position in the game explorer" button be added to each game instead of going back and forth between games entering multiple moves in each time?
