Chess.com Feature Request and Wishlist #5

A little help with some time control, it would be nice seeing as how some of us are at education institutions and have very little access to internet on the weekends, maybe a day on sunday to help those, like me, out would be great.

I would love to make a game where it is like 10 people vs me in vote chess.. is this possible, im pretty sure not and i would love for it to happen :D

Groups can create vote chess games against each other.  You can create a group and invite as many, or as few people as you like -- right down to just you.

Based on this I'm pretty sure it's possible.

Ability to create different lines in the analysis board. I'd quite like to be able to go back to games played and work through different lines halfway through. Could just have an extra pane with current movelist in it, and allow you to have one extra line going at any time. Something like that?

TheGrobe

And a "Commit Line" button to add your current line to your conditional moves lines.

OpeningGambit

Lovely recent changes!

Particularly the new 3D pieces!

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.


Good idea.

A chat room… This is a feature Chess.com needs. Moderated, of course. :)


Good one.

Please, add the ability to store ongoing postal chess games. I play in the ICCF an it is frustrating when you don't have access to your games because you are away from you computer. Chess.com must be the all in one site for chess. Only as an example look at chess.theandrew.com for an example of what I want. I'm sure you could do it better.

Hi Skepticus, in the mean time you could create a blogpost - which you do not publish - for each of your games. In each blogpost, you could insert a chess diagram into which you save the pgn's of your current games and into which you record the future moves.

This might have been said, but in the list of "my current tournaments," ones that you have been knocked out of should have their own listing instead of being grouped all together.

Kernicterus

I think this is a simple one:  Why can't we look at tournaments by catagory...like, if I only want to see Theme tournaments, why can't I pull them up?  I've always wished I could do that so I don't have to see the 13 page stream of random tournaments.

1)  The ability to leave vacation mode in Mobile Chess.
2) The ability to enter vacation mode in Mobile Chess.

time use on vacation adds up over different plays. so if someone goes on vacation and have 20 different games going, each game causes him to lose vacation time. Its really unfair for him to be gone so long and expect others to wait for him

I'll second this one -- including the ability to update your status as well.

That's somewhat bothering. Until Chess.com add this feature I'll keep using the site mentioned. No matter I must use 2 logins for all the chess I need. Thanks for your suggestion.

4 player chess where people make teams of 2(usually friends), and after 2 teams of two decide on a game, each team can chat and decide on the best move.
