custom pieces
Sort:
I was just wondering if there are any plans of a way to make custom pieces for chess.com.
Although the avaliable pieces are cool I always find something slightly wrong with them like being a bit to small, or the wrong colour, or one piece in the set being worse.
I don't know how this would be implemented or if it would even work but just putting it out as a suggestion I think would be useful.
Mabey even instead of fully custom pieces just more options like size settings more colours ect.
I don't think they'll make it super customizable, and if they do, it'll almost certainly be a premium-only feature. I recommend that you look at all the different piece sets and decide which is best.
If they added that level of customization, that would be awesome.
Ya it would be really cool to be able to upload your own piece designs but even being able to pick between different sizes and colours would be really useful and I think it would be a really good edition

I hope this happens, also are you posting a dot to keep it active?
It would be easy to code a client-side version where you can upload your own pieces

I've asked for custom boards and pieces innumerable times, and all I got back were vague promises.
We have color selection feature in variants for the board squares and pieces, how come we don't have that in regular mode? Are these issues even on the roadmap?
I want this a lot too. I don't really like any of the sets. I have to make a set with super hero logos or something.
i would love the idea, i think they said that new piece and boards will come in v4

The site may be using versioning internally but not for public; so there isn't going to be a v4. If you look at some page source, you'll even see references to v5 (or maybe higher by now).
That said, I haven't seen any staff posting anything about customs sets coming to the site. Haven't seen anything about new boards or pieces.
i thought there was a v4 or maybe i am thinking about v3 which is after live is deleted

v3 was released years ago. Part of the reason for v3 was to make it easier to upgrade parts of the site and there have been updates going on ever since. The retirement of the old Live interface is just part of those continuing upgrades.
oh so then i was write when i said v4, i thought there would be new boards, pieces and more
