his was a great video. Thanks Javier
Thanks mate, much appreciated!
DeirdreSkye:
I'm not saying you are, but you behave like a trouble seeker (Thanks GMproposedsolutions, I'm learning!) and I'll add you to my ban list tomorrow.
Other people have made similar comments here at chess.com. I'm mainly writing this so that others can review your history and decide for themselves.
Also please note that @DeirdeSkye is correct in that Chess.com has a policy against advertising for our competitors in our forums; this also applies to any comparisons (positive or negative) with our competitors, although Chess.com always welcomes specific feedback on what we can do better. I have therefore removed the explicit references to our competitors in the various posts in this thread; in the part 1 video it seems more like a casual expression of your own personal opinion, so I believe that post can stay there for now, but if you were to say the same thing repeatedly in all of them, we'd probably deem that to have crossed the line into advertising.
Thanks,
David, moderator
@david, I reported @DeirdeSkye for using vulgar language on some thread. I can't remember which.
David, chess.com is not exactly a chess server, but rather a chess portal, and they're 2 different things. I would never call a place such as FICS a chess portal.
Yeah, chess.com should state which other sites are competitors.For example ICCF is recognised chess federation(like FIDE and USCF), so their site( https://www.iccf.com/) cannot be called competitor.

How many chess federations are there in the world?

A lot if we count every national federation.International ones are only FIDE(OTB) and ICCF(correspondence).

If they state those sites, there is that chance that more people will check them out.
The idea is that we don't want to get into arguing which site is the best, especially when something that is claimed is not necessarily true any more, even if it may have been true once upon a time in the past. We're more than happy to listen to specific feature or functionality requests, but that can be done without saying that some other site does it that way.
The Support team investigate reports that are submitted via the Help Request system - they'll generally let you know where abouts in the process that is, at least initially.
@David, can you explain me why chess.com doesn't accept titles from International Correspondence Chess Federation?They existed from 1951 and works together with FIDE- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Correspondence_Chess_Federation and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Correspondence_Chess_Grandmaster

Sadly, no - I have no idea. Sounds like the ideal sort of post for the Site Feedback category and it would make perfect sense to log a Support query about via Help --> Ask a Question --> Contact
I am sorry I said I didn't like the graphics. It was just my reaction. It seemed unnatural. The lecture was fine. I just didn't like the animation.
Apologies accepted. It takes a man to apologise.
My reaction was over the top, and for this I too apologise. I guess we should all learn to be more sensitive towards the work and feelings of the people we´re trying to have a conversation with.
