Ratings removal from the entire site. I'd like to be able to play without ratings displayed anywhere.

In the report of a game, the words "inaccuracy", "mistake" and "blunder" are used. I would suggest to write "fatal mistake", or something like that, instead of "blunder". The reason is that the word "blunder" actually means "sloppy error", or something like that. In the report however, what are called blunders can be mistakes that are hard to see. So now, the word "blunder" has become ambiguous. This is not a suggestion to a new feature, just a suggestion to a minor change, a change of words.

I always thought that a way to like see my stats for a specific opening. For instance I like the kings gambit but I would like to know my win ratio and accuracy. Like the new insight feature is super cool but if it also allowed you to get insights on a specific opening it would be next level stuff.

Idk if that sounds like a dumb idea or if this forum is active

A king plus multiple bishops should be considered a draw by insufficient material if all the bishops are on the same color.

 
For instance this position should be declared a draw by insufficient material because both players can avoid checkmate by just keeping their kings on the opposite colors from the enemy bishops.

Automatically charge the user’s account (credit card) $0.10 per forum post. That would generate revenue for system upgrades (paid for by the actual active users) and perhaps keep the mindless and immature nonsense to a minimum, at least until mom and das get the monthly credit card bill!

There are already some stats like that under Explorer and the Opening section of stats. I also believe there is some work on making something more robust that that.

Does it not do that already, at least on timeout (not automatically maybe)? I know back in 2017 a ticket was put in to check for bishops on the same color, though it may have only requested checking for 2 bishops and not 3.

Make brilliant moves in analysis sacrifices that win after a 3 move combination or more, so a simple back rank mate won't count as "brilliant".

Rating has some impact on if a sacrifice is considered brilliant or not. So a higher rated player may not have a move like that categorized as brilliant.

When looking at a Full Stats page - it would be great to be able to filter by a custom date range, and not just 7 days ,30days ,60 days ,90 days, 1 year, All Time

chess.com should make their chess board safe. I mean some time we think about move and accidently we select wrong pawn or queen and that move occurred without our consent. chess.com should introduce some feature for chessboard so that player finalize his move  to avoid accidental move.  I faced such accident while playing chess. I was not aware that my finger accidently touched the laptop touchpad while I was thinking which selected my queen. Afterwards I decided to move bishop and touched the touchpad. instead of Bishop my queen moved on wrong place accidently. This accidental move ruined my game.

Have “move feedback” appear instantly and then change as depth increases. It’s almost useless for plugging in moves right now

Voice saying last move of my opponent

I suggest the ability to make Variant Tournaments in clubs, such as Duck Chess, Giveaway, or Atomic (or XXL).

This.

And we need to be able to choose the voice, too. Choices could be:

the Evil Emperor from "Star Wars";

William Shatner;

Beyonce

Have classical chess. I pretty much only have a lichess account because chess.com doesn't offer it for some stupid reason.
