...one thing about chess.com, what would that one thing be, and why that one particular thing?

Scrap V3.Retain V2 (with a few extra refinements) and make loads of members happy (yours truly included).It makes sense IMAO.

Avatar of batgirl

I was hoping for something a little less mundane than a v2-vs-v3 redundancy.

I would like the moderators to clamp down on homophobia. I see it here sometimes and it makes me really mad. I find it wholly unacceptable.

I would ban COMPUTER-IMPOSSIBLE4 xD

I would like an open seek area for people that love to chat. I have to take on so many games to find people that like to talk.

I would like to be able to play "anonymous" games, in which each player doesn't know the identity or the rating of the opponent until the game is finished.  If such games could occasionally include chess engine opponents, and if one or more of the engines had defined ratings, this could also serve to calibrate the rating system;  if the engines were given the same ratings while playing at different time limits, in daily vs. live chess, and even in standard chess vs. chess960 , then all of these rating systems could be calibrated to each other, and a particular number would represent the same level of chess skill in any rating category or time limit.  This could make chess.com ratings more accurate measures of chess skill than OTB ratings, at least for players who choose to play a significant number of anonymous games.

I would change Danny Rensch's hairstyle. I think an afro would do him well.

Thanks.  That's the kind of response I was hoping to elicit.  I hadn't really considered the idea before, but I like it.

Wow. You're logic is irrefutable.

Avatar of chess2Knights

I would like chess.com titles such as they have on other chess playing sites and they have or had in oldfashion postal chess.

Like a Correspondence Grandmaster, etc.?

if you have played against someone found to be cheating, you have the option to have the game and result deleted if you prefer, but leave the rating as it is as readjusting that is too complicated.

Having few dozen games running somehow asks for ability to sort game list by number of moves, event, opponent rating or self-defined labels. Marking the games would be also useful, grouping then into positional, in-disadvantage, difficult, and so on. Also separating tournament games into one list could be helpful.

Yes Batgirl just like that.

If a player on cc goes on vacation that person can't play any games for 24 hours.

I would like chess.com to add the option to view our next opponent profile on the portable application... if i am matc h with a guy that has 1130 rating in tactics and 1150 in bullet ... I will not play him !!! I am in the 1600-1800 rating bracket in blitzs and it happends too many time that i played games without any counter play and get crushed with almost perfect play. I know its difficult to catch all engines users but we should be able to accept or decline a specific opponent IMO happy.png -Jo- ✌️
