erik, we are frustrated

bots don't enjoy songs because they can't listen to it, they fail to enter the correct codes (just like me 3 of the 4 times trying)

It is because bots don't have its own brain. Humans give bots its brain and program it to do certain functions. When bots are fed up by human behaviour, it starts to function by its own way. Then, problems starts. Then, we humans change the method and reprogram it and bots will start to obey humans. After a while, the bots get irritated by humans and start to misbehave again. We, humans again reprogram it. And again it misbehaves. And this process will go on endlessly. Because 'perfection' doesn't exist at all.

Can we get back to the topic at hand please? 

Yes, this whole thing is being derailed into a garbage patch.

Funny how someone had the balls to address Erik, when he specifically states on his profile he welcomes praise and suggestions, but is not the complaint department. You guys are a bunch of pampered, entitled, spoiled brats. Yeah I have been playing chess online since Yahoo! introduced it and was a member of  the world's largest chess site, until chess.com came out. Chess.com quickly took the role as the number one site for chess on the planet, because they did a LOT of things. One, they had no "watchdog" program (a program installed on your computer as an exe, which cannot be played anywhere, but on your own devices). Two they never stopped innovating new  and brilliant features. Brand "X" never improved over 20 years. Chess.com improves almost daily. one feature I found particularly interesting is the feature about your stats that shows what chess moves (with names, like en passant) you use from the most to the least. Things like the Tactical Trainer is a great tool for seeing if your opponent is the real deal or a cheater. You can't cheat that thing, but it does have a limited library, so if you play it thousands of time you can get pretty good at it. Then you have Puzzle Rush, which is a fast paced exciting test of your ability to asses a situation in time constraints, which also  will give you a fair assessment of another player. There are hundreds of other things I could expound upon, but the bottom line is this site is the best of the best. My advice to you who feel frustrated, is to join another site and get a belly full of appreciation for what you have here.

Why don't you get lost?

You are garbage and everything you say is garbage. Go troll someone else.

I conjecture that just like the Terminator, "she'll be back."  Her / His "urge to dump" is abiding, methinks.    

Yes, you are absolutely correct. I have played in all the chess websites that exist today. I checked all of the features of all sites. And I found chess.com has the most attractive and user friendly interfaces in all aspects. Thanks chess.com! Thanks Eric! Thanks all the Staff and Moderators!

And in the meantime this site and its bugs are driving so many crazy ...

Yayy captcha is gone  

I knew, I just didnt KNOW....thanks for sharing this.

Chess.com in general is excellent, except for some of the forum threads, where you discover too much Whine Country.

Very interesting. Those of us who were fans of Star Trek TOS learned what can happen when robots ( auto-bots ? ) and computers get out of control. Yes we now see what can happen when the auto-bots are watching us like some kind of a " Electronic Secret Police ", fun stuff eh ?

You can praise chess.com without attacking people who complain. Complaints give valuable feedback and don't mean people are dissatisfied overall. If they hated this place they would have already left.

I've also played since Yahoo! days, and yes chess.com is eons ahead of where we were 20 years ago. They're also ahead of their modern competitors in various ways. That doesn't mean they're perfect and doesn't mean they're unappreciated by the people doing the complaining.

I don't know how you know you've played on all of them... Over the years I'll google for obscure sites just to try them. I've probably played on dozens. Yes chess.com is very good... "the most user friendly in all aspects" might be pushing the truth a bit  -- when you have so many features you necessarily need more buttons and/or menus... which creates a learning curve (however small it may be).
