Today, suddenly I was jumpscared by animation at the start of the game. Also, after win there is an animation, its too distracting. Can I turn it off?

You can disable under Settings > Board and Pieces or use the Settings icon in Play to toggle the setting there

When i start a new game (computer) the app mobile open automatically and the game close because it works only one at a time. I lost the 1 minute game like this, shoud I logout of mobile to fix this?

I found it. Thanks!

This "start of game" animation is terrible. Imagine playing 20 games in a row and being subjected to this stupid animation each time. It gives me a headache. Who came up with this very bad idea?

I could not find the setting in Settings > Board and Pieces on a laptop. What is the exact name of the setting to turn this off?

I absolutely hate it and its very distracting....

For those on a Windows laptop, you can only turn off these animations through the settings icon in "play".

Settings then board & pieces then ??? I'm a desktop user on Firefox.

Yeah imagine a bullet or hyper player wanting to smash out as many games in 30 minutes as they could.

It is awful. Very distracting to have an animation play like that right before a game.

Right now there's a bug and it's not available but it's:

SwoleSkier

useless and distracting. and btw clock should start after black first move if you get that kind of distraction before the game.
imagine coming up with this idea and imagine a working team approving it

The team at Chess.com is great taking user feedback. I don't mind them trying something new, but I agree with the majority here that the pre-game animation is annoying without adding any value.
