Good bye chess.com the site I know for more than 19 years...

Once you logon you will find this message:

Hello playing 4 change....
This version of Chess.com (V2) will be shutting down on September 30th. 98% of our members are using the new site and we need to focus on one platform for the future. We hope the new Chess.com (V3) will continue to be your chess home. We appreciate your feedback and have worked hard to address many of the issues you have shared. Please consider taking this short survey to help us solve the remaining issues you may have with the new site.
Sincerely, the Chess.com Team

I have been here in chess.com V2 since it was www.chesspark.com and the free account was only for 15 days then you need to make a new e-mail to make a new chesspark.com account for another 15 days, till they made it FREE :) the next years after that aws the most beautiful years I ever lived here, my 1st love was (and still) via here chess.com...
the sad thing is the older people like 50 years old and may be elder used to V2 and most of them if not all do not like V3...
I could not logon my groups notes, I tried so hard to adapt to V3 but I really could not, I just can not like it...
most of the old people I know will leave the site, they are here on this V2 for The media social platform this site providing...
too much memories and friends :(
anyway Good bye chess.com V2 or the site I know for more than at least 15 years (as V2).
P.S. for the FuNny ppl: no silly comments please.

Hey Storm!

I agree. Shutting down V2 is a disaster, for me too.

But.... I have tried V3, on my laptop, and to be honest, there is nothing wrong with it.

Only problem is, I am not that much on my laptop, and I mostly play my chess moves on my iPad.....and on th iPad, V3 simply does NOT work....

So I am afraid that if V2 stops, I will also stop playing on chess.com....

If you play on your ipad, use the chess.com app

I am using V3 on an ipad right now with no problems...i do prefer v2 but i used the option in v3 called classic and it looks more like v2

ClemsonTiger

The_Storm_555

so I have to have Ipad to be on a V like V2 ? Vuck that lol

V3 is better

solskytz

50 years old is already considered "older people"? 

That can't be!! I will be 50 in little over four more years - I'm not going to be put into that category so quickly.

V2 is better

I am 38 years old so I am old too like V2

ClemsonTiger

I just went to settings in v3 then clicked on home, then set home style to classic...it really looks alot like v2 and operates the same way

Op, I feel your pain. But where will you go? For better or for worse, this is the only real chess community there is.  Wouldn't it be better to adapt?

solskytz

V2 is better - but because it's better, not for any other reason. It's simply faster when you play blitz. 

Apart from that (the speed in blitz) I believe that V3 is actually better. 

But I like blitz so much, that the balance is still on the side of V2.

I wish you stay in v3 and help the developers make it better by showing them what problems it has - and possibly how they can fix them.

Young man, stop interrupting.  Tell us what you think after 4 years ;-)
