To be fair I never liked computer chess. I like real chess against a human being on an actual board where I can feel the pieces. And I'm not very computer savvy, I just play online for convenience. That's why I'm giving up on chess.com. The interface is atrocious, I'm staring at a gleaming white screen until my eyes water, hunched over in pain. If there are ways to change the time/screen size and colour etc. I have no idea what those are and I'm tired of searching and wasting my time to find them. I've been using chess.com for like 5 years! I don't always want to play an incredibly fast, difficult game. I just want to veg and get a little practice in. But chess.com wants to tell me how long my game should be, who I should play, what my board should look like and what their rating should be. Those are my choices not yours. Don't even get me started on the pitiful time cheats. I feel like I'm playing at Washington square park against the hustlers. My move=my time. Guys can make 10-15 moves in a second?? I don't have the energy nor the nature to learn how to cheat so I can compete and the longer the game the more pain to my eyes and body. There seems to be no unlimited time control, of course if I did that there would still be cheats. I'm leaving chess.com permanently. You need a total overhaul in my books. Buh-bye.
Computer chess is funny. I think it is better than play chess in local clubs due a lot of things:
- you can know people from all around the world;
- you can troll in the foruns, LOL;
- you do not need to move from your home.
The dark side is internet chess may become easily an addiction, but you need to be aware about it.
In internet
Good luck.
You can easily change the background, pieces, and table size...
There is program called flux, but if is it your permanent decision, then I won't stop you. Computer chess can't replace real chess, but it can help.
