State of Chess.com Round Two! Post your questions here:

So I have made it farther in this <1500 tournament than I ever have only to draw a player with a 1725 rating.  It doesn't make much sense, but what can I do?  How does one's rating go up over 225 points during one tournament of only 100 players??

@ Apalachess In V3 go to this link and you will find a link to close your account if you want to. I would wait for V3 to be finished before making that decision but Good Luck to you whatever you decide  Cheers Link Here: https://www.chess.com/settings

I'd love to be able to see the time stamps too. :)

Already answered in the Erik from Chess.com here. Ask me almost anything!  thread (page 10, post #191):

   Did Erik do his thing yesterday?

Yep, missed it. Wonder were I can find the video.

Get the Twitch app, then type chess in the search. Go to people find chess. You should find Erik's video. 

What's the answer?

V3 is avalible right now and V2 will stay around until Chess.com are sure it can completely take over from V2. So no way to put a hard date on it as it is work in progress that said it has come a long way and getting better all the time. I advise trying out V3 whenever you can so when V2 is gone you have a idea on the differences in V3. We are already getting ready for V3 training and more Videos so stay tuned. We still have time to keep using V2 but it will not last.

Just remember you can help with V3 by clicking the Bug icon and submiting any problems you are having. Please do not use the bug tool to reach support only V3 devolopment issues :) Cheers all 

I believe the estimate was around 6 months at that point (someone that watched posted that, maybe RJC).

@ alex-rodriguez  Most of thes issues have been addressed or are in the process of being worked on.

If your setting are set to automatically claim the win then the computer will auto draw the game for the 50 move rule and also draw by repetition. As far as the free accounts being able to see past games and stats Erik has already anouced that they are working on the new features for free accounts. :) If you have any problems setting that up Message me and I'll help you out :)

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!

@ cjaniru Thanks for that but we maybe a bit late to see the 2nd State of Chess.com show as this is Feb 8 and I also missed it again. I wish Erik would do one in the Evening where a larger % of Chess.com members would be able to see it. We are still answering Questions here as we can. Thanks for your posting that :) 

@Commander_Riker you can see Erik's video by using the Twitch app. Go to search type in chess and open people an look for chess with the chess.com icon. Open it and you will see Erik's video along with all the other videos from Chess.com.

  Let me know if his HAIR was any better than the 1st one.

Erik's performance in the second "State Of" address was truly compelling, bordering on the sublime.  With well-practiced precision, his use of phrase and gesture was indeed polished...yet redolent of spontaneity.

The costume changes and CGI work were top notch, and the flow of the story was seamless, sublty weaving a layout of the facts with symbolism and "secret messages" to those in the know.

His chiding of the chat mods was especially inspiring, as he proclaimed that he was "tough enough" not to need their intercession by editing "hardball" questions, and playful riposte.

When asked, he demurred to "do a little dance", but stated that he may treat us to a display of handstand pushups in a future episode.

Another instance of Our Great Leader's acumen in, and mastery of, the performing arts, chess, and life in general.

Four Stars out of Five, imo.

How much do you charge for film reviews?

Your right LQ. I just managed to catch the last 2 seconds of Erik's handstand exit.
