Martin,

whenever I come to chess.com(using a bookmark), I get the V2 and I have to manually switch to V3. Is it possible to automatically get V3?

 

v3 access is controlled by a cookie setting. So, unless the cookies are getting removed by some process on your system, then it should load v3.

So, right now v2 is default?

Avatar of Martin_Stahl

Yes, v2 is still the default at this point.

ok. V3 as default would have been better.

It will be at some point but apparently there is still some work that staff wants to complete first.

Is it my imagination or has the scoring been tightened up ... I'm getting 1s and 2s for correct answers that are around the average time ... I like the 1 pt for a correct answer regardless of time taken ... but to come up with a correct answer ... in a reasonable time frame ... and be ... rewarded?? ... with a solitary point ... or two ... very uninspiring ...

At the end of the day ... I just want to have fun ... not out to become world TT champ ... but if I'm playing at 50% pass rate ... then I expect my rating to stay where it is ... if I play better then I expect to move up ... if worse then down ... but the powers that be have made this site too "not fun" ... it's too penalizing ... there is little or no balance with the scoring ... i lose 9 ... but can only gain 1 or 2 ... can anyone suggest a chess site where the element of 'fun' still exists?

This is very true.  The motivation has to come from within.
