The social aspect. No other chess site has such a social aspect. Smile

I love all the trolls and spammers, particularly those associated with RAR groups.
I love how many cheats remain on site for months before being booted. I also love the fact that they are free to return again until caught cheating, again…
I love the new GUI and the Chrome browser plugin, I now have an unpleasant mid-grey screen background instead the the eyesore-white screen. One downside of this is puzzles are now given away by posters who post white writing on their white backgrounds where they can’t see it… but I can…
I love the illogical layout of many of the aspects of the new GUI, all the extra mouse clicks associated with most tasks I carry out frequently make them a complete drag. The heavyweight code used also makes page refresh times horrendously slow, even unbearable at times.
I love the fact that the next GUI (v4) is to look just the same as v3.
I love the fact that ChessTV is well moderated.
And finally, I just love how, over many years, the forums have degenerated from a place of help and support to a place of oneupmanship…

It is a little bit off-the-subject, but perhaps it is not too out-of-place for me to ask about something:

Has there been a recent chess.com decision to be a little more aggressive about eliminating some comments? Just in the last few weeks, I have had several experiences where I wrote a reply to a post, only to see the post itself disappear. An example:

Someone recently posted a link to a video of an "interesting" game: 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bc4 Nf6 4 Ng5 d5 5 exd5 Nxd5 6 Nxf7 Kxf7 7 Qf3+ Ke8 8 Bxd5 Qf6 9 Bxc6+ bxc6 10 Qxc6+ Qxc6 11 c3 Qe4+ 12 Kf1 Ba6+ 13 Kg1 Qe1#. Because the video had claimed that Black was winning after 9...bxc6, the post-author had tried to imitate Black's play and found himself losing in one of his own games. More than one person pointed out the deficiencies in Black's play, and I added that, in the game of the post-author, White had managed to find an improvement for White's 10th move. I thought the whole thing was funny and also instructive with regard to the dangers of trusting someone who sounds authoritative, but the whole thread subsequently disappeared.

dunno... pants down seems like a more fitting description to me...

@gambit-man even the suggestion of pants down where you are concerned is too much information.

What i love of chess.com?

The social aspect (inexistent in other sites), a beautiful live page, good graphics, a lot of rated players, news-articles and videos, chess TV, best chess streamers on web, i like the ratings (i think that the chess.com rating is the closer rating to Fide rating)...and, is my opinion and my feeling, chess.com is the closer thing to be the official chess site, i mean, is the most important chess site in the world, so i feel that chess.com is "almost" the official site for play chess.

Is stronger than me, i feel that the other chess sites are only imitations, yes in some cases good imitations, but anyway imitations.

I have an opinion about V3, and if you don't like it, I have others.
