A suggestion:  under the "See All Notes" section (little yellow notes you get from your friends, etc.), could you please build in a way to delete multiple notes at once?  Perhaps using checkboxes to be able to delete and get rid of more than one at once.  Thanks!  Laughing

How about different icons for finished tournaments and no-vacation tournaments?

I have been active here no more than about a month+, but I am really starting to miss an overview function of the vote chess matches I am following - like "My Home Vote Chess" presenting an overview of these matches. Only having the triggers for new comments/new moves does not do it when you are following a number of vote chess matches. Should be easy to fix.

about tournaments:

  • separate lists for current tournaments one is still actively involved in and tournaments that are continuing, but from which we've already been eliminated and/or have in which we've completed all our games in the round
  • announcements when we've graduated to the next round in a tournament
  • automatic promotion despite unfinished games in a group (as in when there is only one game left and two people are competing for the last two places of a group and have no chance in graduating to the next round)
  • ability to search in 'upcoming tournaments' within a specified rating field (i'd like to search for tournaments that are <1600, for example)

This thread is 29 pages long. If Erik actually takes the time to read all of it, that would be impressive enough, although it wouldn't surprise me since he is incredibly responsive to user input given the size of the website. I do have one simple little wish, which I will mention even though it might not be important enough to work on very soon.

I really wish I could view all tactics trainer puzzles which I have commented on. Sometimes I ask questions, and sometimes people respond, and I can only see the responses if I check the "notify me of new comments" box. This is fine most of the time, but occasionally I remember a puzzle and want to go back and look at the comments again, and I have no way of going back after the notification is no longer "recent."

i read every comment. :)

Fix the Chess960 ratings during a challenge--right now the ratings (in challenge ranges) still use the player's Standard Chess ratings in the search/match engines even though the 960 ratings are used in the game to determine rating changes.

hmm i was hoping for something like 8/10 or 90/100 lol

On tournaments, team matches, etc., I think changing scores for draws (1 instead of 0.5 points) and wins (3 instead of 1 point) would be great.

I don't want that change. It might make sense in the context of grandmasters, who draw a large percentage of their games against each other. They also sometimes have perverse incentives to agree to early draws. However, here on Chess.com, draws are not nearly so common. Discouraging them is trying to fix what isn't broken.

In some parts of the world, "To your health," is a greeting, a toast, etc...might we have a trophy for this expression, please? (and thanks to chess.com for the best chess website on the net!)

Reminder for vote chess games?

XavierPadilla

"You're a tough nut to crack" trophy, or something like that.

This one is simple.  I'd like to be able start an ordered list with any arbritary number.  The list is realy great for listing a variation that are simple or short enough that inserting a board in the post doesn't make sense.  The only problem is that the list will only start at one:

  1. e5 e5
  2. Nf3 Nf6
  3. Bc4 Bc5
  4. b4 Bxb4
  5. c3 Ba5

It would be really nice if I had the ability to start at say move 5 .

OpeningGambit

OK, just one minor suggestion that you need not pay any attention to at all!  :)

It would be quite nice if, on your Alerts panel, when an applicant applies for a place in your group, the two options were not 'Accept' and 'Decline', but 'View' and 'Ignore', so you could look and see what they've written.

Thanks,
