Premium members may use text commands in a variety of ways (see below). All members can use /h or /help (+ text) to send questions to Help & Support. 

 

In-Game Commands are typed into the game chat box:

/abort
/draw (or /d)
/resign
/rematch (or /r)
/close


Global commands are typed in the Main Hall or a chat-room:

/accept - accepts last challenge received
/decline - declines last challenge received

/seek - issues a challenge using your current New Game settings
/seek [basetime] - for instance, "/seek 5" sends a 5|0 seek
/seek [basetime] [increment] - as above, but also specifying the bonus time: "/seek 5 5"

/play (or /challenge) [username] - challenges a specific player
/play (or /challenge) [username] [basetime]
/play  (or /challenge) [username] [basetime] [increment]
/play (or /challenge) [username] [basetime] [increment] [unrated]

   Example: "/play kohai 10 5" would challenge user kohai to a 10|5 game.

   Example: "/play kohai 10 5 u" would challenge user kohai to a 10|5 unrated game.

/finger (or /info, /who, /profile, /f, /fi) [username] - view the member's live chess profile

   Examples: "/who kohai" or "/info erik"

/sound - toggles sound on/off; a message will appear to announce the switch, on or off

/quit - resigns all games (if any), logs you out of Live

/chat (or /c) [username] - sends a private chat request to the user

/tell (or /t) [username] [message] - sends private chat request, then sends the message

   Example: "/tell kohai Have a nice day!"

/help (or /h) [your question or problem] - reports your issue directly to Support and Live Chess Help

/observe [username] - immediately takes you to the member's game in progress (if any) as an observer

/follow [username] - follows the member; now you can easily watch all the games they play

/follow - with no username added, the command lists all the users you are following

/unfollow - unfollows all users

Note: There is no command to unfollow just one specific user; however, you can follow and unfollow individual members using the menu that appears when you click on their usernames.   All members are un-followed when you log out.

Pretty sure all memebers can use all these commands.. not just premium.
