New 'Best Games' feature?

Sort:
gumpty

I would like to suggest a new feature in Chess.com turnbased. My idea is a seperate 20 game database for each and every player, named 'My best games'. There would be a link to this database (similar to the existing games archive) on each players profile page. Each player would have the ability to go through his current games archive and select games he/she would like to showcase as his/her best or favourite games. You would just 'check' the box like you do to download the pgn, and hit the 'save to best games' button. This would be a great benefit to A) players like myself who have played too many games to be able to find 'that' game manually, and would like to have his proudest games stored somewhere together on the site. and B) other players who would love to see their favourite players or their friends best games! The database could be updated frequently as newer better games get played, so it would always be worth 'popping' back to player x's best games now and again to see what they have been upto. I think this feature would be a great one and would be very popular, i would be interested in any feedback? cheers, Si Crowley (gumpty).

Great idea.

I think it should be a feature for premium members since games only get displayed for a month non-premium. Perhaps, there would be more space in premium (20 games) vs free (3-5 games).

I think that to goalong with this feature should be a way to add anotation to games, so that when you look at the game, you can remember more about the significance of each move.

Annotated best games.  Great idea improvement!

I seem to be in a minority, then, in not warming entirely to the idea. In the first instance, it makes another place to look for games (separate from the Games Archive). I would much prefer to be able to tag the games in situ (e.g. with stars) - and for the Archive Games search facilities to be souped up. Secondly, I personally don't tend to look back over old games.

If it were possible to annotate games in situ, and if such annotated games were flagged, then these would be the games most likely to draw attention when looking at someone else's games archive (something else I seldom do).

However, it is another feature to help players focus on quality rather than quantity, so - go for it!
