please let us know if you find any bugs - our QA this time around was... less thorough :D

its on the list for next release

Ok, good.

Just to press the point home, this one is fresh!

Thanks for promptness! 

Great ones, Erik, thanks!

If I may ask:

1.  May we have the feature where we can know the points to be won or lost even before sending a challenge to our desired opponent?

2.  May we arrange our games list according to our need (as of now, they're arranged per least number of time needed to make our move)?

My best, Keith

Hell yes. Thank you for 960 Team & Vote chess!

That sucks -- don't you go sticking me with it....

Haha, don't worry, you're safe. I always just stick an explanatory note on my post, to avoid any confusion.

the ratings presented in the team matches are the ratings of the players normal chess rating rather than their 960 chess rating.

What about the Chess.com Palm Pre app? Apple doesn't deserve a Chess.com monopoly.

lol.........

i know a person that is exactly like you- except he hates windows and supports apple

Thanks for the updates to the site Erik, soon we will be the flat best no compition at all

Great update!

Thanks for always working towards making this site better, erik.  We appreciate it!

G

thanks! we'll get that fixed asap.

i'm SO excited about live chess 2 beta - it's live and kicking! i hope we can show it to everyone soon...

Psst... release it to diamond members, then platinum, then gold, then free... just a suggestion! 

I got a sneak peek! Woot.

you mean coolicezero, aye?

Anyways there is a new conditional moves bug: It sometimes does not write down moves correctly. For a few exchanges on b8 in a game, all of those moves were written down as Rb8.
