 I know you award custom trophies to winners of tournaments, so chess.com is at least halfway there.

... and you can propose new trophies in this thread ...

Help make Chess.com even better! - Trophys and Surveys!

(which are sometimes implemented) - so chess.com is 75% of the way there.

1. Make chess mentor a limited, but accessible, feature for lower premium members.

2. Design a "make your own premium membership" where you only pay for the features that you use.Smile

the live chess sparring mode (with takebacks)

This feature should allow you to issue custom challenges in which you:

1. set up a board (legal position, specify which side has the move, if castling is still allowed)

2. choose a side

3. Issue the challenge (open or closed)

This would allow us to play basically any legal position against anyone. Of course ratings wouldn't really make sense in such a mode, but it would be brilliant to practice endgames and though positions with friends. (much like the computer workout but more fun because you have a human opponent).

With takebacks it would also be the ultimate coaching mode!

(perhaps it would be best to completely seperate the sparring mode from regular live chess? I wouldn't know - that's tech talk).

Novice1100

On the live update well how about this? The server cut out and now I got a gaem that says resume or whatever but the other guy was loisng so he won't expect my challenges so there should be a way to just get rid of these type of things and besides. On the update just don't keep showing resume at the top forever and ever. Another thing is thin. Put a folder in were we could hide bad games away form display!!!

I assume you fourth & fifth guys are agreeing rating is better than points.

How about Chess960 Live Chess?

Two more suggestions/requests

1. Something to better prevent spammers from spamming the forums. If this means limiting the # of forums one is able to start per given time period, then so be it.

2. The abiliy to start games with a handicap. That way, I can play games against my friends who are rated lower than I am and the game will still be competitive.

Is It possible to play chess on chess.com with a windows 95 computer using internet explorer 5 ?  I tried it, can't get the pieces to show! Any ideas (excluding upgrade of pc)

Kacparov

Get a new browser. Should work even on IE6, but Firefox 3 is best.

i'm sorry, but we can't support technologies that are 15 years old :(

could you make a no vacation option on regular games as well as team matches?

since there's already no vacation on tournaments, this should be possible

TheGrobe

Variable vacation caps would be better than strictly offering a "no vacation" option, but I agree that it would be good outside of just tournaments.  I think in conjunction with some of the other clock types that have been discussed you could do a lot to ease some of the frustrations around game (and in particular, tournament) durations.

ringwraith10

there are some tournaments that have been lasting for quite some time

i agree

how about bughouse!!
