Chess.com Update

I don't really like the UPDATE (DON'T BAN ME JUST OPININON)

it is on the profile. Now this is really annoying in my opinion because I can't see how many views I have and I don't want people seeing my stats.

Your stats have always been viewable.

It's called a downgrade.

Chess.com, this is an excellent update. Keep them coming.

As I always say, if you cater too much to the majority opinion here, the site will decline, and specifically the forums will turn into a cesspool.

This update proves that chess remains the main focus...not followers, notes, views, or any other nonsense that only distracts from the website's true purpose.

Great job to whoever pulled the trigger on this.

Yeah totally ☠️☠️💀☠️💀☠️☠️💀

At least add back views, it feels weird without them.

If I could change one thing, I'd bring back the old look of the profile page. Views? Are allowed to be removed. Notes? Kinda sad but I'll tolerate their removal. Followers? Gone.

Just give use the old look of the profile, please.

Agreed, but they won't

Just like they didnt bring back the old game review and ignored its users.

Okay, maybe views aren't that important, but they need to bring back notes!

Learn to construct proper sentences. Chess.com might take your opinions more seriously if you did.

I see you crying about the new update in a thread too, but your feedback lacks any substance.

Meh, im not going to argue right now. Ciao. Bring back the old game review. Ghal-Madonna lol

See, chess.com?

This is exactly why I suggested the forced restrictions in my thread.

Look at what this user is complaining about.

They clearly lack direction.

Did you read #11?

Also, GIF profile pics don't work, but I think that's just a client issue.

I can see Midnight's GIF pfp just fine.

You upload them in WEBP format

Nothing in the new update is hindering your ability to improve.

In fact, the update encourages improvement, something you weren’t doing. You should be thanking chess.com

I'd say that notes could be pretty useful, but views were a bit pointless. It was also kinda annoying to see people bragging about how many views they have, even though it's pointless. If I had the option to bring back either notes or views, but only one of them, I'd 100% choose notes!

Again, how does anything in the new update hinder you from playing chess or improving?

A staff member might be reading this. So let them know.

Yeh true

I do like how it shows the stats of the person right underneath the username, though. That is a pretty good change, but we didn't need to completely omit the view count and Notes...

Thanks, everyone, for the valuable feedback. We have collected several items that are important to you on your profile.
For now, we have rolled back to the previous version. Please let me know if you don't see it, and I will follow up with the team.
We will fix the following before rolling out the new profile again:

  • How do daily timeouts in daily stats
  • Show daily match event names in the current games widget
  • Fix archive widget filtering

We also hear and read your feedback on all other things, and those are under careful consideration. However, some might take more time to fix/tweak before re-rolling can happen on those topics.
