Okay, I figured out how to play 960 on v3. Disregard my previous question.

    I have a question to all the members of chess.com and not ErikSealed  Aren't you getting a little out of hand with this??Undecided WHY DOES EVERYTHING NEED A SEPARATE THREAD??  At a quick glance we have; "Info--in V3"  "Comments--in V3"  "Messages--in V3"  "Live Tournaments--in V3"  "Computer Analysis--in V3"  "Danny introduces new features--in V3"  There's THIS thread, there's the V3 group plus the thread, "V3".  Did you move the bathroom too?--in V3"   Cry   That's like last week when Bowie died. You couldn't post your condolences in ONE thread. NO!  We had 4 threads all saying the SAME thingFrown There's a permanent "Rest In Peace" thread PEOPLE!Yell  The dumbing down of Chess.comCry  I think I'll start 2 CNN threads----(you guessed it)---in V3  One for good news, one for bad news.

Is there a way to remove the share box at the bottom of the screen? So annoying, especially if you have a tiny screen.

Important question for erik:

Is it possible that V3 can be released on Valentines Day?

The reason why i'm asking is that i want to play 960 in live and not enough people seem  to be there to take up the challenge.

P.S. I mean valentines day this year, not next

If you can put up with old-style descriptive notation, Howard Staunton's Chess Player's Handbook is an excellent choice

Hi everyone!

With the success of the first State of Chess.com show with CEO Erik, we've decided to do it again!

On February 5th at 10am PST, Erik will once again be livestreaming with answers to the best questions as well as talking about what's coming next for Chess.com!

We'll be regularly tracking this topic to come up with the best questions for Erik, and we'll look forward to seeing you all at the show on February 5th!

why does one paid member get all the benefits at the expense of another paid member? I am of course talkin about vacation time.I feel strongly that I should be able to abort a game or force a draw.one time I waited 9 weeks and the fellow never did return. I finally resigned though I was 3 moves from a forced checkmate. until my rights are balanced against the other player it is very unlikely I will renew my membership.

Will it be possible to "ping" players, or better yet to have their lag shown when logged in?

Kirkwood

Bumping for visibility! Get your questions in now because the show is  this week!

Why can't I post images from my iPhone ?

I do hope you focus on live chess. I've already asked one question pertaining to live chess.

Pretty sure that was answered in the first event.

Would it be possible to make the computer analysis have a better attitude?

If the opponent blunders or makes a mistake, the computer always says "lucky you", in the notes section, not acknowledging that maybe I am playing well.

It also never gives any encouragement, not even so much as a "!", or "!!" when you make a good move.

And when you blunder it's like, "Oh no, you blundered!"...in other words, it only expresses "personal opinion" feedback about the game when it's putting me down.

Maybe a "visual" message Lucien,Undecided so if you make a bad move, you'll get THIS;                                               "YOU FORGOT THE BRIEFCASE!Yell                                      

Commander_Crunchy

And then, when you're about to checkmate the opponent, it goes all impersonal again..."Mate in 3" etc.

It would be nice if it had a few congratulatory presets as well, maybe something like "You're sure schooling that patzer!", or "Savor the victory, you earned it!"...that kind of thing.
