Notification of wins

Sort:
random255

I'm involved in a few daily chess games by way of multiple tournaments.  One thing I never get, is a notification of a win based on timeout or resignation.  I'd really like that.  Instead, I have to check my daily chess games each day and troll over each one to see if there's a win I didn't know existed.

Wins by timeout or resignation affect standings in the tournament.  Each time I get a victory but haven't made a mental note of it, I can end up being in a different spot than where I last was.  For example, two tournaments have me on the cusp of making the next round.  If someone resigns a game against me, I need to know.

Is there a setting for this I'm missing?

I recommend checking this setting: "I get a new challenge, or a game ends, or I am low on time"

Looks right, except only for email and application, no option for web (which is how I play).

Hmmm... I don't remember ever enabling any special settings to get notifications, and I use web exclusively.  Every time a game ends, I get a notification alert at the top left Chess.com icon.

That may be helpful, actually.  I have 71 unread alerts there, I don't use or notice that.  I just cleared them out, I'll check that the next time an alert shows up, maybe it'll tell me.  Thanks!

Literally just had someone resign a game, and got a notification.  It doesn't specifically say that I won, but it does say to "check my game".  Close enough, better than nothing.  Thank you!
