Here is a tiny suggestion for which I can't think of any downsides: in online chess, if a player has only one legal move, it should be made automatically.

I see your point. The downside is, many people won't realize they only had one legal move, and they'll flip out when it happens automatically. There would be all kinds of cheating accusations and people saying their opponent hacked their account. I suppose if chess.com gave a notification that the move was made,and why, it might work. I think it would end up causing a lot of confusion

So true. Laughing

Scientists are currently trying to determine whether everything we do is inevitable.  They really don't know yet whether we're living in the Matrix (a computer simulation), and thus everything is essentially predetermined and that 'random' is only pseudo-random.

The chess online app has mission points. What are they good for? Can you increase your ranking with them somehow?
