I submitted this to the survey, but I wanted to see what other people thought of this.

There are many things chess.com could improve.

I'll start off with live chess. First of all, there should be some way to make the chess board bigger. It bothers me that it is actually smaller than the chess set in live simple chess. There should be a way to full-screen the chess set. Also, when you center the chess set in standard live chess, you prevent players from chatting. You can see chat, but you can't chat. That defiantly should be fixed. And, when you're in a game and you don't click "show chat" before the game, the "show chat" option disappears. What if I want to say "good game" to my opponent?

Regarding the "game" tab on live chess, there should be a better way to navigate through games. All the games that come up are one-minute games, which I'm not interested in. There should be a way to make it to weed out all the time controls you prefer not to view and still watch a game with high rated players.

Regarding the personal chat on live chess, there should be a better way to notify people if someone is trying to chat with them or if they are challenged to a game.

Regarding the rules chess.com has implemented, the only thing I believe should be changed is the rule where after three moves, you can end the game without any rating change. Three moves is a long enough time to say that you are committed to playing the game, and the reason is because you CAN win in three moves, so if you actually beat someone in three moves, you don't gain any points, which is wrong.

That is all.
