V3 has a few bugs, but it is definitely better for non paying users because it has more free tools.

I prefer new.

I never get hung up on new versions of things coming out.  If chess.com thinks this is better, the chances of changing it back are slim-to-none.  Therefore, I don't waste energy thinking about it.

I can't find the resign button in live games in the new one.

It's the little white flag under the game moves.

My question is how you go straight to the New Chess without having to log on twice? When the game aborts, it takes a while to get back.

I like how v2 makes the distinction between someone being banned (you can probably guess for what) and someone who closed their account. I think this is quite important and I hope chess.com brings this back in v3.

For those not sure of what I mean, if you're on v2, go through your past games. If one of your past opponents has been banned, you'll see a little icon of a person with a stop sign next to the name. If a person has simply closed his/her account, there's no icon. You'll only know that the person closed the account if you click on the name and it brings you to a page that says "Member Account Closed."

Whereas on v3, if you go through your past games, players that have been banned and players that have closed their accounts (for whatever reason) both have the same icon next to their names.

I prefer the old site. In the old site u can see your friends inmediately, & see the Map where the players are ready for a game.

The old site looked very different than the current site on chess.com.

Well, I don't think V2 is coming back. Either deal with V3 or move on...
