I swear this is true, once when I lost from a winning position, it actually said "You had a win, but you failed to carry through, so sad."

If chess.com had to give the computer a "persona", why make it a passive-aggressive one???Cry

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. 

LOL, I noticed that too! When you play a perfect move the machine goes:

"yeah, yeah, we all saw that. What kept you? Took me 0.000023 milliseconds" Wink

I don't know RJC, I'm trying to say that the computer's snide attitude should be toned down, not spurred on, for God's sake.

  On a serious note, here's my suggestion. Ya know when a mod locks a thread?  Most people can see it coming BEFORE it comes. Then the mod has to explain using the English language with---violating the TOS, foul language, ya-da ya-da ya-da. They shouldn't have to do all that. They should just throw-up THIS picture;   as a warningFrown                                                                                                                                          Eventually, most people will interpret that to mean, "this thread is dangerously close to being locked"   Weather it be for the tone of the thread, the topic of conversation, the emotion, the arguments, etc etc.

The BIG question on everyone's mind I'm sure, of course, is what kind of make-up and costume will our Great Leader be decked out in this time?Undecided

And what kind of scenery will the "State-Of" monologue be performed in?

Given it's popularity and timely-ness, I'd suggest going with a "Star Wars" theme.

 Before I play Live Games on Chess.com I like to warm up by using Chess.com's computer. It has 10 levels but I have no idea what the approximate strength is of each level. How about publishing the approximate strength of each level. I know other people in the forum have given their best estimates but I think Chess.com should publish it  so that we can have a better estimate of our playing strength before we actually start playing live games...

If you played 100 games with Magnus Carlsen right now what do you expect your score to be?

Themes still don't work. Can this be fixed sometime in 2016?We did pay for full service.

Avatar of Bilbo21

Assuming you are still running, what major changes would you expect to see to chess.com in 10 years time?

Avatar of Senior-Lazarus_Long

More options,for photo albums.Maybe video albums too. Video chat in live chess,and for groups.

Avatar of P_or

Another very important question Laughing

Is there any chance of audio chat if not video?

How does one become a mod? Apparently you are immediately disqualified if you apply to be one,complete with a guy from New Zeeland making fun of your application and telling you hell will freeze over before you will be considered. Who is moderating the mods? And is that possition available?

get yourself some nice clothes, and a parka, a suitable haircut, a scooter (add some lights or mirrors if you want to be flashy) and get out of your brain on the 5.15...

Would really love a time stamp option especially for slow games
Avatar of SmyslovFan

My understanding is that V3 uses some sort of timestamp or time seal. Is that correct?
