Are you still not forced to move within 15 seconds in Play?
No
After a year I still have no idea what Live or Play is
"Play" is probably the worst name they could have conjured up. It follows their years-long plan to whittle down larger phrases into succinct 1~2 syllable catch-all words (probably per some marketing genius fresh out of Harvard Business School that published some paper for a doctoral degree). Play could mean anything, but this is the way of the Millennial.

No
I just tried "Play" again today.
Not only do I still have my 15-second THREAT timer, I see my opponents also have the 15-second THREAT timer.
@Erik -- why? This is not how chess works. If chess.com insists on pursuing this, I will stop playing "Live" chess. Totally ridiculous. The Auto-Timer itself needs to be abandoned!
How to go live plz tell me
For the newer live interface, go to "play > play" with a web browser. It will replace "play > live chess".
