It is impossible to play on my BlackBerry.....a problem I never faced with the old site

Avatar of womanplayer

Tactics Trainer doesn't refresh right away, as it did on the old site.  So you have to go out of Tactics and then come back in to see your latest score and number of puzzles left, or, of course, click on Refresh.  It used to refresh instantaneously.

I don't know if this was brought up, but the recent change to the Instant Message with friends is not available in game.  I think the choice should be left up to the individual if he wants to talk to friends during a game.  You can always sign off.

since the new design, some of my stats have been quirky. my last 3 opponents were all over 1700, yet my average opponent's rating keeps going down. how is that possible? it's not!

also, due to some computer issues, I lost some games on time. my ratio had been going down but now it's went back up more than it was in the first place. the thing is, I haven't lost any on time since that initial hiccup. anyone else?

Or at least a hairpiece.  More chest hair maybe?

I still cannot resize pictures. No corner handles.

I am managing to play on my Blackberry Torch 9800. Initially it would allow me to play for a few days and then the download software crashed, but recently it seems to be working ok. http://www.chess.com/play/mobile-chess.html is the link, and then choose 'phones with Java'. I remember that Kohai had a further link if the one above gives problems (can't remember where to find it - you'll have to browse the forums).

Mobile site on iPhone working great now. Chess.com FTW

Not here it isn't.  Game explorer is all messed up, parts of screen missing etc.  The app works fine unless you want to actually view the site.

It would have been nice if this update was used as the opportunity to make better use of the horizontal screenspace available to those of us with wide screens.  Currently, over 50% of my screen is grey background.

That's odd, I have a widescreen but the background takes up maybe 15-20%. What's your resolution set to?

1920x1080

Ok. I'm on a laptop with only 1366x768, that explains it.

aargh!! ...I spoke too soon. After a couple of weeks of playing mobile chess with no problems, I now get a whitescreen. What is the reason for chess.com not supporting BlackBerry?

In the past each tactical puzzle had an analysis page. Where has that gone?! Surely getting rid of that is not an intended "improvement"?!!
