CHESS.COM is messing up PUZZLE INTERFACE

Sort:
Arisktotle

The puzzle interface in the Forums is currently a mess. Many things go wrong when solving or studying puzzles in an unpredictable fashion. In the past days I saw consistent failure of the function that steps through the solution, missing solutions in the analysis column, missing navigation buttons, missing analysis function altogether.

In the past year or so chess.com has attempted to improve it's puzzle interface with mixed results. The handling of variations was updated a few months ago and shows there is no understanding of which tools puzzlers require. The most recent changes cause an even greater  mess. To chess.com I'd say: go back a few years and start all over.

i suppose chess.com will do nothing to fix this.

New code should not be rolled out to production without testing.

They either didn't test the changes, or didn't know how to test the changes.

Software Development FAIL.

Btw, some of the disastrous changes in the puzzle interface were retracted so things are kind of calm now. Since I haven't actually posted new puzzles recently I am not sure of all the details of its current operation. I'll comment further after more experiences.

Chess.com has done it again! Can no longer step or navigate through a puzzle solution and the analysis function has gone. Just a total mess angry

Please chess.com, return to sanity!
