Change is difficult for most. We are comfortable with the familiar, regardless of the relative merits of alternatives. While we are all taking the new update for a "test drive" it would be helpful to remember that the Chess.com staff would be very happy to hear about any bugs or bad experiences from any member if that communication takes the form of constructive criticism rather than a public rant.
I like what I see so far! Keep up the good work staffers!

The first day back on & all these people who were complaining about things that were addressed in the 2 messages sent to everyone that addressed EVERYTHING they're complaining about, maybe they wouldn't jump to conclusions! I couldn't believe how many people in the chat room were complaining "this sucks" "bring back live1 (which everyone was always complaining about)" "I can't stand the new live chess" and on and on and on. People READ YOUR MESSAGES! be patient. This a great chess site & will be even better.
