Having a way to add multiple solutions to a puzzle like the one below:

I propose The game window in mobile device be enlarged to maximum. There are few millimeters space on both edge.

I propose that the forum be completely overhauled. Chess only.

To be honest, the Chess.com Forum software isn't so good. If you visit other discussion boards, you'd notice basic features that are missing in this one. I reckon Chess.com should scrap it and use something like phpBB instead. https://www.phpbb.com/

Some features missing on this board:

  • Easily find all threads that any user (not just oneself) has contributed to.
  • An Ignore User function that immediately hides all posts by someone. Best way to deal with trolls and spammers (Mods are too slow to respond, if they do anything at all).
  • Bookmark topics.
  • Manage draft post.

And this is the only Forum I've seen that has the bizarre problem of users "inheriting" other people's topics, when the first post is deleted by the original poster. Presumably this problem still hasn't been fixed?

I 100% want the 2nd feature to be implemented. It always bugged me how "blocking" a persistent troll doesn't hide any of their ridiculous posts in the forums. That's like the main thing about blocking.

Sadly (at least sad for people like me) chess.com hasn't cared about the forums for many years.

I vaguely recall chess.com awarding some community member of the... year? I think it was year. To some guy I'd never heard of. I've visted these forums practically every day for the last 12 years, I have over 100k posts, and here's some doofus I've never heard of being recognized as member of the year.

But of course it's because they were active in discord and twitch. I guess if I were 12 years old and on my phone all day these are the sorts of places I'd be hanging out, and I'd agree that whatever-his-name-was is a cool guy.

So yeah, I think they've long since moved on from the forums.

Yeah, here it is

"According to Chess.com's Community Director Trym Sorsdal: "@Tomodovodoo is a rather new member, but he has really embraced the site and the community. He is active in the forums and he is a super-admin for the Dutch community clubs. He is often in our Twitch chat and always has great questions for the State of Chess.com show"

So active none of us have ever heard of him.

Great job Trym Sorsdal. I'm sure you were impressed when he spammed POG in chat more than any other 12 year old.

I wish you could create a custom analysis board like on Lichess and put pieces where you want them and play against the computer and other players with it.

Avatar of Nimzowitsch

I wish you could play variants (all variants excluding Bughouse, including the custom variants) against the computers.

You should be able to customize the color of your chess board based off a color palette

Exactly! There are multiple solutions, but the puzzle itself can have 1 correct answer

Can't that be multiple correct answers?

chess.com should fix the search function in the forums. Because they don't work. AT ALL.
