I'd like to see players' ratings attached to their posts, etc...  It would help me view their comments in context and reply appropriately.

This one seems weird but relevant to me.  I was trying to set up a reminder for myself on my Yahoo calendar about some appointments for some coaching using this site.  A calendar would be great for this.  I love this site and just can't tell enough of my friends about it.  They love it too.  Keep up the good work.

I do not know if this has already been suggested, but I would like the ability to send a universal message to all my opponents when I go on vacation.  IE:  Sorry about the vacation, but a family member died and I need to go to the funeral.

 I suggested this once before. Hopefully with more people saying it would be useful it will get more attention as a possible feature. I can't imagine that it's that hard to implement, seems like a it could be done before lunch ;-).

I used a prog think it was fritz, where you saw next to your game a diagram with your chance of winnig on each move. I thought it was helpful to see if I was doing the right thing:)

It would be nice to have a kind of "setup position" or something because sometimes I want to show my friends certain positions and tactics etc and it's a bit difficult  to do that unless we create a new game and play until we reach said position.

Here are some minor items I found myself wishing for:

- when replying to a comment on a puzzle, I often find myself switching between the board and my reply.  This is even more annoying if the reply is not on the first page, when the puzzle is not visible anymore. Maybe a way to see the original post on top of the comment I reply to would solve this.

- Easier way to quote already entered board setups. In particular when commenting on a full game, being able to quote the board in the middle of the game would be really helpful, because the FEN is the starting board, and the PGN forces readers to go through all the moves, not just the part you want to start from. So the only good solution for the writer is then to reenter all the pieces manually.

- (not really bugging me) during a game, being able to correlate chats with the actual game moves

 Thanks for a great site!

It would be useful to have an option for when you've just played a moved to move to the next game which is the most imminent (ie. the one which you have the least amount of time to play your next move). This option would be an alernative to the existing "Stay on this game", "Go to the next ready game" and "Go to My Games".

Thanks for making such a cool site for free!

Maybe we could add an engine to the boards that will dtermine when there is only one legal move possible, it makes the move automatically so the other player can play two moves without waiting for the other player to come online.  I think this would reduce the ammount of drag out lost positions abuse.

Has anyone suggested handicapped starting positions?  Like Paul Morphy challenging GM's to play him and he'd spot them a rook and bishop, or something outrageous like that.  Maybe put some spice into the game for the >2000 rating folks.
