Chess.com Feature Requests and Wishlist #3

How about this?

A) Bigger display photos

B) A page with all chess.com records (e.g. Most games completed, most games in progress, etc.)

My biggest wish is a "Tournament Trophies" shelf in "My Trophy Showcase" right over "Game Trophies" and "Fun Trophies."  Of all the trophies we receive, I believe we are all most proud of our tournament achievements and would like to display them for all to see.  Even if it is just a Bronze Medal, it belongs in "My Trophy Showcase," but "Custom Trophies" especially want to be seen. 

"Custom Trophies" should also be seen on the "Tournament Homepage" as an incentive to all players.  Currently there is NO PLACE for "Custom Trophies" to be seen ANYWHERE.  Which begs the question, What's the point in offering a "Custom Trophy" option if no one can see them.?

I would have liked a tab like Moves while playing against computer so that I can analyse the game later.Playing against computer is really flexible so I mostly play against computer.

Great idea's

I wish it had a teleportation mode... so I could get to the NETHERLANDS!

About when you log on to Live Chess, a random game is being played. So you could watch while waiting for a seek, or just obsere and learn.

i second this, maybe the highest rated one, or the highest rated newest one.

want to be able to delete games from my archive, such as games that were 1 or 2 moves or early timeouts etc

A Guess the Move feature would be great.

A long list! Plenty of work to do - making a great site even better.

Just to add another couple of ideas:

1. I am new to the site - just 5 games and all wins by time-out. My rating has soared to 1680 and yet I have not actually won anything yet. Would it be possible to give an option to the winner in a time-out to "unclaim" the win. Then the winner can claim the time out win if they wish or just let it go. The loser should lose their points regardless.

2. On the recent games history, could you add a column that shows the basis of the result, i.e. checkmate, resignation, time out. That way, we can quickly do a check before accepting a game to see if the opponent has a history of walking away from games.

Many thanks

Looking forward to all these great changes, especially 8 and 22!

i am not a fan of the move from this position vs the computer unless you can ensure that it is not used for any actual games being played. although i am sure people can get some similar programs at least they have to make an effort. 

It would be good if, when all moves have been completed, it automatically returns to the 'My Online Chess' screen, rather than on the board with the 'Your move has been submitted. There are no other ready games' message. This way arthritis can be averted for a little longer.

Can you make it so that you can invite more people than double the number of spaces in the tournament?

Occasionally I slip with the mouse and drop my peice on a different square than I intended.  This will usually ruin my game.  How about a takeback feature allowing you to take back the move (with your opponent's approval)?

How about an option making the players follow the "touch rule"?  With the option enabled, if a player picks up a peice (with the mouse) he is obligated to move that peice provided there is a legal move with that peice. 

The "touch rule" is already an option.  You can turn it on or off on your "Board Settings" page.  Turn it off and you will need to hit the "Submit Move" button after making your move before it counts.  This will eliminate accidentally dropping your piece on the wrong square.

Here's a total non-priority wish that I just thought of:  as you roll your mouse over the flag next to someone's name, a little box appears saying which country that flag represents.  I'm getting better at identifing them thanks to this site, but there are still too many I don't recognize.  I can always click on their profile to find out, which is what I've been doing.  So like I said, it's definitely not a priority, I just thought it would be cool.
