what book would you recommend for a 1100 rated player?
State of Chess.com Round Two! Post your questions here:
Sort:
On a rating of 1-10 how much do you enjoy working on chess.com?
would you play Magnus Carlsen (no.1 chess player at the moment)
[Date "????.??.??"] [Result "*"] [FEN "rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1"] 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 d6 4.Bd3 Nf6 { Tipycal kids tournament aperture } 5.Nc3 { Is not a good opening to start with veteran players. } *
in his last ask me anything thread he says he is an introvert private person and doesnt like doing these types of things, so why is he doing them? is he just pretending to not like the attention because he seems to like it.
Is there any possibility of limiting the number of draw offers in live games, as it is quite a nuisance when the opponent keeps offering draw till the end, unlimited draw offers in live blitz or bullet games are quite irritating.
how do USCF ratings broadly compare to chess.com standard ratings after the ratings bump in october 2014? are they more in line now? what about at the lower levels (<1600?)
what are some good game plans / strategies to improve by simply using chess.com materials (tactics, lessons, live games, etc.)
thanks.
Are there any plans to counter blatantly obvious sockpuppeting?
Why can't we use JPEG images when creating custom trophies for our tournaments? We should,it would be easy enough.

Repeating Batgirl's question/observation from the first round.
Again...
Batgirl wrote:
"The forums have a rather peculiar element. The OP is able to block members from posting.
There are times when a thread should be pristine and an OP may want to discuss a specific thing without clutter such as off-topic comments, image-spamming, ect. Yet there are other forum threads in which the OP just doesn't want to hear dissenting comments.
I think default threads should be open to everyone (taking away the ability of the OP to block anyone), but there should be an option, only available when creating the thread, to give the OP total control to delete comments/block users, and such threads would be tagged as such so anyone would know whether the thread were open or closed before posting in it."
was never answered, afaik
p.s I coloured the text

when will v3 go fully live and what are the big ticket roadmap items when that's done?
Lets try to show Erik we've matured a little since last time. Professional site questions only please. NOT what's your religion, how much do you make, beer or wine, etc.

Chess.com computer requires java, but in recent ask me anything Erik said Java is a security risk and advised to uninstall Java. How to reconcile this? Does/will v3 use Java?
The short ans 0110001 is NO to V3 using Java. https://www.chess.com/groups/view/chesscom-v3

Ronny there is a difference between Java (Platform) Based more on the C++ language and Javascript based more on the C language. They are different animals. Chess.com uses Javascript but not Java.
In Chrome try turning off Javascript and go to a few of your sites notice half the stuff missing ?? No not disable Javascript :)
This topic is very interesting and increase knowledge about the world of chess, thank you !
