I would personally like to see a better piece count thing (the bit where the pieces are "kept" when they are taken off the board"). At the moment on live chess 2.0, the pawns overlap each other, then so do the knights, bishops and rooks (if you manage to take both of the pieces of the board). I prefered the old version (live chess 1) of this where the pieces just lined up by each other when they were taken off the board.
I agree completely.
Wait what? Live chess 2 already exists? Where?
Elubus: Live Chess 2 is in beta, and can be tested by anyone via the link zbigboy posted :P

I logged in to Live Chess v2.0 for about 30 seconds... I accepted a challenge for a 30 minute game, then mysteriously the game aborted for unknown reasons. I tried to create another game, but the server froze on me. I logged off and tried to log in again and a message came up saying "server unavailable". Then I noticed the link to try Live 2 was gone.
My first impressions though is that this is going to be cool once all the bugs are worked out. I really like the layout much better, it's much more like the online correspondence chess as far as web design.
I have tested, and I have been disconnected twice!
1. done
2. done and done and done. there is no way to disconnect now :)
3. yep - big boards!
please explain how whenever I get into a winning position, the server mysteriously disconnects?
The only reason you have is that it reached its payload. Once they can accomodate everybody, it should be ready to go.
I hope they have:
a) reverted to the Live Chess 1 captured pieces style box
b) allowed users to challenge players to Live Chess from anywhere on the site
I have tested, and I have been disconnected twice!
me too - and the second time, it took forever to get back in again!
hahaha. I thought I got disconnected because I was using internet explorer. lulz.
Ooooh I can't wait for Live Chess 2.0. However, there is something to be pointed out. When running over the members' names, there is nothing inside the pop-up! Maybe it's just my computer or there is seriously something wrong with those pop-ups.
ok it was my computer
I would like to see a players tab.
There is a link at the bottom of the page to the complete list of players on Chess.com. It would be great if this was simply restricted to just those players that were currently on Live Chess when clicked from Live Chess.

If anyone ever spelt my name Nytic they wouldn't even get the choice of which limb I took from them while they slept.
I think he's talking about lag.
