Using touch screen

The touch screen on the Kindle Fire does not respond like the mouse using my PC.  How can I play chess on chess.com with the Fire?

I have problems on my samsung tablet. Often touching a piece highlights another piece rather than the one i touched, very annoying

Is this just on chess.com piece movement? Whats the screen sensitivity like on other sites?

Which app version is it?

Hi Kohai

It is just on Chess.com.  Works fine everywhere else.  It is the Galaxy 10.1.   Model Number GTP7510, Android version 3.1, Kernal version (whatever that isUndecided) 2.6.36.3, build number HMJ37 P7510XWK12.

It's very frustrating when it happens.  The piece that highlights up my be two, three or even four pieces away from the piece you actually touch.  I may after a few attempts finally get the right piece to highlight but sometimes I have to just give up and wait until I can get my wife off the laptop to make the move.  Sometimes out of curiosity (and almost out of time!) I have spent 20-30 mins trying to make a move before giving up.

Please let me know if you need further info.

Kind regards

Chris

Thanks Kohai.  I switch to the mobile version when it gets too frustrating which is pretty good anyway.

The same happens to me. In the middle of the game, the touch screen stops responding. It only happens on chess.com. The game clock keeps ticking so it isn't frozen. Then suddenly, it'll just come back. Sometimes it never happens, sometimes a couple of times in the same game. I use a Kindle Fire with touch screen. Any help is appreciated.
