It is just unacceptable, harvesting our CPU time without permission!
There is no way to turn off Live Chess Stockfish for relayed games.
Sort:
you can turn off at the bottom ''game'' button, then off evaluation
but i think at the start of the game, the computer evaluation must be off. it must be OPTIONAL by players! cuz we cant thinking myself
This is ridiculous! I don't need to hear my computer's fan going nuts just to run chess.com's evaluation.
... and I do not see the button for turning this off.
Yes, please make it an option. It's ruining our chess experience. Thank you!
Yes we can turn it off.... but we have to turn two items off, EVERYTIME ! And that's not the real problem.... we should be ASKED to have it on !

They keep changing it. It's now ON when you log in; however, once you turn it off it stays off ... until you log off.
Hi Chess.Com
I'm watching grand prix games on Live Chess. And there is a running Stockfish by default. When you try to turn of evaluation and lines it still continues to run, uses high CPU and RAM and makes my laptop fan noisy. It uses too much resources without asking me first. Please immediately change this. It appears to be a "feature" but it's annoying and ruining the chat experience. I much prefer analysing myself and interacting with the chat. I correct when the weaker players miss a tactic, and I love when stronger players correct my mistaken move suggestions. When I enter one of these games, the PC goes wild. Please add an option to permenantly disable it!
