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.


I'm not sure anything's stopping you from coordinating this now.  You can just create a game between two of the four players and use the messaging functionality, or you could create groups and start a vote-chess game between them.

You'd have to make it unrated if you just created a game.

TheGrobe

Yes -- good point, it would constitute outside assistance otherwise.

the ability to play with friends and take back moves and rearange the board in any way i see fit for teaching purposes (not sure if this exists here already dont think it does)

DocRoy

sounds good, but i too would like to see the comments feature enhance for all.

When making a new line for conditional moves, you should be able to copy and paste from another line you have already made...

Say you know have a series of forced moves you can set up, with only one option for your opponent for three of them, but then on the fourth he has two possibilities, but after either one you still know exactly what you want to do.

As it is, (unless there is some button I haven't discovered) you would have to make a complete line for both options, while ideally you should only have to do the first part once. (Of course, if you are in that situation on the receiving end, it might be time to resign...)

TheGrobe

Convergent lines (two that arrive at the same position) should also collapse back down into a single line from that point forward.

Erik,

I think the proposed format is too busy and my personal preference would be to leave the page as it is today.

Thanks,

Neil

Right after got the platinum package chess video's were introduced for the diamond members. The fee's are for a year so theoretically you would be able to just change it across and lose say half of your subscription time to upgrade as opposed to having to spend more straight away and subscribe to the entire year of diamond/platinum.

In other words I have a years worth of Platinum that I want to trade back for half of a year to diamond membership.

I was thinking if there were some way to make the diagrams here in the forums editable . . .

A print board button that prints a picture of the game being played would be helpful for me

Have a live update if a player leaves the site.  Sometimes I'll hang around thinking I'm playing a pseudo-live match since my opponent is on at the same time as myself only to realize when I refresh the page that they've left.

Hey! how much money does Chess.com make a year

Ice_cold

?

TheGrobe

My guess is that that information will not be forthcoming.  One of the privileges of being a private company.

When posting a game to a forum post, the "import PGN" option where you paste the PGN text chokes on files which contain annotations like +=, comments surrounded by braces { } and variations surrounded by parens ( ).  It just cut off the game at the first non-move.

Would it be possible to change that to import the whole pasted text, converting to the site's internal format if necessary?

A cool feature would be to check games you need more time to think about so they don't jump up as "next game to move in" when you are playing "live style" vs. a few opponents who are online.

Some people has many info in Group & Team Membership (I saw 99 group for one man)

I  wish to see on main page user's profile only latest joined 5 groups and see another on additional special page.

drakesdman

:0 i have 150 gorups im in try and find one in that pile

TheGrobe

Wow -- another solution might be to only join a reasonable and manageable number of groups.
