Boy falls in love with V2. Along comes V3 with all her T & A. What follows is divorce, bloodshed, & suicide.
SAY IT ISN'T SO....


You know, for a Singaporean, president_max seems to know a lot about our culture, and I like Hall & Oates too, but the origin of "Say it ain't so" is much older than that; it goes back to 1919 when Shoeless Joe Jackson and his Chicago Black Sox threw the World Series. I'm not aware of any catchy songs ever written about that.
Grew up on voice of America, bbc radio and American/british tv. An appropriate song for throwing a game or v3, might be, from down under

Ill stick with V2 until the bitter end, it took me long enought to understand that.
Ive never been clear on why V3 was necessary, its not so long ago that record decks were all going to be replaced by CD players. I kept my Linn deck , and now discs are making a comeback, which isnt surprising as the sound is so much better.
Im with you Petit

You have a Linn turntable?! Cool....
Hope you're playing The Blue Nile on it!

I'm doing good SB. I'm drowning in 3D puzzles. That's my new drug. The chronometers were shut down in all the forums over a week ago--for V3--so its harder and harder to find my good threads.

Ive a linn turntable and Linn Kaber speakers which must be 20 years old , coupled with a Naim pre amp, Naim power amp, and Audiolab Dac.
My CD player was a Roksan, but its just packed up on me so ive bought an Atoll 80 CD deck which is surprisingly good! (Roksan prices here in France are astronomical, about 3000 euros for the equivalent of my old model.)
No , WW2 is certainly before my time, Vera who?

Nay Lass,sure i am still on it--V2 i mean--verry happy with it--& i shall keep using it as long as is possible---

The analysis moves are no longer listed one move per line
If you make what you tentatively think is the best move, you can't leave that position there while you go to the analysis board. You have to cancel the move first.
When you hit the return icon during analysis you used to go back to your most recent effort; now you go back to your first effort every time, so you might forget what first response turned out to be best in the longer term.
While playing you can see the line of pieces the opponent has taken, but to see the pieces you have taken, you need to scroll down. These should be just one under the other.
When you go to the list of games in progress, you no longer see a snapshot of all your games at once.
Arbitrary name changes, without care as to what the words mean in English. Correspondence Chess is now called Daily Chess even though that means once a day, which in fact is not the only option. Teams are now called clubs. Going with standard definitions, teams compete against each other. Clubs play among themselves and sometimes some of their members form a team to represent the club.

Okay today I just watched the chess.com/classic v3 video and it is quite good. they have arranged things to look like V2 and anyone that is really having a hard time switching over<as i have> will definitely want to check it out.
go to www.chess.com/classic.
v2 is wonderful. I dont like v3
