Discussion of Game Link

Sort:

Several weeks ago, in a post concerning "Sarah's School of Manners", I made a suggestion for a new link at the conclusion of a rated game on Chess.com to invite game discussion and analysis.  The point was that I do not want my "silence" throughout a rated game to signal to my opponent that I don't want to learn something afterwards.  I simply do not engage in commentary while the game is ongoing.  (For unrated games, I do not mind casual commentary while the game is in progress.)

I am reposting the exact language of my idea in the next paragraph because it was buried in its original location.  No one ever commented on it.

 **************************************************************************

May I suggest that Chess.com introduce a button to "invite discussion of game" with the opponent at the conclusion, along with "request a rematch" from the opponent?  For those opponents who are silent throughout the game, this button would indicate their willingness to discuss before they lose their cyberspace connection to their opponent.

that is a great idea, but we don't have LIVE chat ready for that :) but yes, that will come!

Highly doubt this would ever be implemented in addition to the already existing rematch button. But if in the case it were, perhaps rather than a button after the game, it may work better if prior to the game. This would be a selectable option in ones settings, along with a visible indicator of some sort by each players name, seeable at the start of a game, rather than after when so many immediately punching "new game". Perhaps one may get a few more to stick around a bit to see if anything is said/dialogue box/chat opens???

If you don't mind...what is one to discuss, except perhaps in a rather rare situation?
