chess.com member games in the game explorer?


Yeah, you used to be able to have access to them as even a gold member.  I can understand why they were removed though since ther'e been hundreds of thousands of games played on this site already but I still think premeium members should have access to at least high rated games.

I came up with a new idea/small request.  Allow teams to post polls of their constituents along with news & forum threads.

it would also be nice if you can give your opponent odds.

I think the Game Explorer link error for pre-chosen openings shouldn't be difficult, because it just needs a + on the url to work.

For instance: http://www.chess.com/explorer/index.html?movelist=1.c4+e52.Nc3+Bb4+3.Nd5+Bc5+4.e3+c6

doesn't work because the pre-chosen opening Reverse Sicilian is not integrated as regular moves. If it were changed to

http://www.chess.com/explorer/index.html?movelist=1.c4+e5+2.Nc3+Bb4+3.Nd5+Bc5+4.e3+c6

there would be no problem.

I would like to see a list of all vote chess games currently being played by me, similar to the list of online chess games (shows which vote chess games it's my move in, how much time is remaining...)

It would just make vote chess a lot more accessible. Currently the feature is buried fairly deep within the site, and the only thing I have telling me about my ongoing vote chess games is the alerts system. So whenever I want to check up on a game, I always have to do a little digging.

It's not a terribly important feature, and I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but I thought I'd bring it up.


 I agree with this one.


 me too

Another suggestion is: PREVIEW facility while sending message - as in forum postings.

I had to send a PGN file to a staff member (I sent it as embedded chess game), I did not realise that the PGN file got corrupted until I saw it in the reply message (due to a bad syntax in { }). It would have saved a few days time if I could preview the message and immediately diagnose that the PGN file was corrupt.

Another suggestion: admins will be able to give custom trophies (as in tournaments) to members of great achievements - who has done a particular great job e.g.: responsible for suggesting winning move in vote chess, or recruiting a good number of new members, or giving excellent results in team matches (repeated "Thank You" notes and "Vote Chess Teamwork" looks stale).

infinitum

It has been suggested before, but I think it'd be really great if we were able to sort the games according to  Opponent, Moves, Time Left etc  in Online Chess.

Okay, some things have been mentioned before but I'd like to add my voice to them:  I'd like the Game Editor to display piece captures like Live Chess does;  I'd like to be able to play a game from a certain position against the computer.  I would really like the ability to be able to see what openings and defenses I've used with percentages of use and success.  Themes need to be better categorized; like anime, sports, classic, GMs, colors, movies, etc.

Not to mention that "Vote Chess Teamwork" trophy is incredibly ugly!

I could have sworn I remember reading somewhere on this site that they were working on a feature that when you mouseover a person's username, a few of their stats would pop up automatically?  Either way, is that something you could put on the To-Do list?  Thanks!

Could you please make feature boxes for groups?  Like admin-only notes, where the admins could post some things, such as news, group color, group song, group flower, etc.  It would be much easier than posting in news or forums, because then the members have to click on each individual piece.  There is nothing on the right side of groups, so admin-only noteboxes would allow for easy viewing, right on the group homepage.

Is it possible on the chat during an online game (not live), to have the "past" postings slightly greyed, so that if someone posts a new comment to your game, you can immediately tell where to start reading?  That would be helpful certainly if your opponent posts multiple comments, and you won't have to figure out where to start reading.  The example below shows what Knatted would see when he logs into the game.  See example below:

I have a suggestion about live chess. It would be nice when you're disconnected to be able to continue you game when you log back like online poker site.

I think that game adjournment and adjudication (for non-resumed games) is coming with the new version of Live.

Can I please have an option to turn animated moves off?
