Puzzle Rush & Move Sound Survey

Hi everyone!

As some of you have already heard we're working on updating our sounds across Chess.com. This involves cleaning up some old audio, creating a consistent experience across all platforms (web, iOS, & Android), and in some cases exploring new sounds.

With all of this in mind I'd love your feedback. There have been mixed reviews on the small changes that have been made already and I'd really like to hear more from the community about what they're hearing.

Below is a link to a survey on a couple of move sound adjustments as well as the new set of puzzle rush sounds that went live last week. I encourage you to not only select your favourite but to comment on why you made your choice. Describing the sounds using adjectives like 'bright', 'heavy', 'warm', or anything else that comes to your mind will go a lot farther than just saying 'this one sucks' but all responses are welcome.

Thank you for taking the time to get involved and help with this process!

The sound volume on the clips isn't very high.

I'd really like an option to make the board smaller.  I believe there is one for all of chess.com somewhere, but I'd like to be able to resize it just for puzzle rush.  I have a big monitor and it takes extra seconds to see everything and move the mouse from corner of the board to corner.  I don't play any fast time controls here (or anywhere) so I normally like the board big.  

The other thing that bugs me about puzzle rush is that reviewing the solutions to missed problems is a little cumbersome.  

Apart from that, I love it.  Don't pay any attention to the sounds.  I have them on sometimes, but just don't notice them.  Sorry cant be more helpful there.

You can resize the board.

Move the cursor over the 'settings' cog wheel symbol to the side of the board at the top right hand side. A couple of other symbols should appear. The second one down says 'Drag to Resize' and has two arrows pointing away from each other. I'm sure you can work out the rest...!

Some of the second sounds sounded like something from a super mario game. Like you were stepping on the head of something. Some were also much louder with more bass. I prefer the original sounds.
