A couple of suggestions for live chess

Hi there.

 

To keep it short:

The idea is to show with which colour you are going to play in the seek graph, just as you can see it in the 'seeks' window you should see it in the graph too. It could be done by painting the dots in colour white/black, and red when it's random.

The other suggestion:

I think players should be able to choose whether they want to finish a match as win or draw when the oponent gets disconnected from the server, instead of auto win. It would be a nice option in case you are playing with a friend and you don't want to ruin his rating! It couldn't be abused anyway 'couse the player has always the last decision.

 

Thats it!

Thank you for your suggestions. They are much appreciated and will be considered with future updates to the Live Chess.

I think the players list was a source of performance issues and was removed -- hopefully it will be restored with the newer version, even if on an upon-request basis only.

the chat window doesnt fit when i enlarge the board size to medium in live mode. maybe in future updates the floating windows in live could be better

Yeah -- window resizing seems to be done in about 10 pixel jumps, and doesn't adjust the position of the contents, particularly the text entry boxes for chat.  It can be frustrating when you're chatting and you lose the ability to continue.
