Are you still able to win diamond memberships through the events in the Community Club? Or do you have to participate in every single one and do well in all of them, etc.

GUYS, I just got curious on doing some random analysis stuff and I found this weird 🛈 button so I pressed it. I found three things: Title, Country, and Avatar URL. I want to know how this 'Avatar URL' works and how to upload one. Thanks for those who will answer!

It would be an image already online somewhere

Would you consider adding a feature that allows you to edit and delete other people's comments on your own forum that you created? Then you can get rid of the trolls without having to wait for a mod.

Pretty confident that will never be possible.

Why not?

Or just undesired comments

True... that might give you too much power.... but it is your forum.

Or blog post.

Once you create a topic it's part of the community. Other than blocking, the topic creator doesn't have control over the discussion once it's public.

Allowing members to edit comments on their content is prone to abuse as well.

I didn't think of that, true, people could use it to frame someone or something.

There was just one instance I was thinking of, where a troll came on an active forum and did his stuff, and the owner couldn't get rid of him. Took about five hours for the mods to ban him..

Had the OP blocked the troll then only some posts would have been there.

If cheaters are restricted they just create a new clean account to keep cheating, so why bother?

When will the money we give you as premium members be used to give us a half decent server that doesn't crash every week?

Avatar of MrChatty

> crash every week

confirm

I think a "!!!" move should be created for the best sacrifices like Alexei Shirov's

Just think of how a troll could use the power to edit other people's comments on his own thread.

That will never happen.

Why do the puzzles always repeat in Puzzle Rush Survival after the 120 -130 mark?

Despite, this site claiming to have over 500,000 puzzles?

I think acceptable rush puzzles are a subset of the overall puzzle database and there are certain paranormal for them. Not 200% sure though.

That's an interesting point, but it still raises the question—if the puzzle pool is limited for Puzzle Rush Survival, why aren't more players, including Titled ones, reaching similar scores? Given the supposed database size, you'd think more players would break through, yet even high-rated GMs struggle to match my results. It makes me wonder if there's some hidden factor at play, whether it's familiarity with patterns, a specific approach to solving, or something else entirely.

What do you think? Could it be just repetition and practice, or is there more to it?

Avatar of Martin_Stahl

It's probably the time needed to get the higher scores is not something most players are interested in, especially master players that would rather be playing games.

I’d like to suggest adding a new bot based on IShowSpeed! Speed is a super popular streamer known for his energetic reactions, and it would be fun to have a bot with his personality. The bot could have a unique playing style, funny voice lines, and maybe even some rage moments when blundering!

I think this would bring a lot of excitement to the Chess.com community, especially for those who enjoy content creators. Please consider adding an IShowSpeed bot—it would be a blast!

What do you all think? Would you like to see a Speed bot on Chess.com?
