whats with this? I went and changed my browser setting and still the pieces move in a animated sticky way. it's not always like this, but hell of annoying when it does. Even typing this has a delayed reaction.. Any solution?
this server is a joke. Try ICC.
You using v3? Switching to v2 clears up most of the problems with live chess
sonofthunder2 that is the only helpful advice I have received on this site. Good call. v2 is so much better! Thank you!
Yes, I've ended up with sticky pieces as well. People need to wash their hands.

Check if hardware acceleration is off on your browser.Turn it back on.It may cause a sticky movement effect when its off.

Switched from Google chrome to Safari and problem solved. I just keep safari open for chess but use Chrome for everything else. On the old site google chrome works fine so perhaps there's a bug? dunno...
Oh.
I'm not sure if this is just a setting on my side but the new verison of Live Chess seems to feature sticky pieces which I'd love to be able to turn off. Sticky pieces allow you to click on the piece you want to move then it stays with your mouse as you move your cursor around the board. When you click on another square it drops there. I have made so many accidental moves over the past week due to this feature as I'm used to dragging and dropping which I prefer. Anyway advice on how to turn it off would be greatlyappreciated.
cheers and kind regards!
