Is the Daily games view going away?

Clicked on 'My Turn' and am directed to "Live" game I finished watching ages ago.Thumbs down for this 'update'. :-(

And please leave the chess.com/daily page as it is!  Just because you can make changes, doesn't mean you should make changes, as a general principle.

After playing a few games , this new update is horrible.  I simply cannot see all my games!! Very frustrating!

Please keep old daily view.  And on that subject, please bring back ability to page through daily games when you have over 100.  It helps locate games that you want to focus on .

 

Thanks, Craig

Well said craigh4242!  Totally agree with you

Да, теперь, чтобы увидеть список своих игр, я вынужден идти на главную страницу, потом - в профиль, затем - нажать на вкладку партии. Вы издеваететсь?? Это что, сделано для накрутки кликов??

Yes, now, to see the list of my games, I have to go to the main page, then to the profile, then click on the game tab. Are we kidding ?? Is this done to boost clicks ??

ugh, I thought it was just me . . . I love chess.com but have to wonder about this. It's bad UX. meh.png

The closest view to the one they changed is under home/profile/games.

For now, I've just bookmarked https://www.chess.com/daily and will use that until they clear up this debacle.

That's the part I don't understand -- from a design standpoint. Who thought this was a good idea? Someone actually had to propose: "Instead of simply listing the games, with relevant info, can't we squeeze all that into a narrow column on the side and put a big chessboard that no one's using in the middle of the screen?" and the rest of the team said: "Yes! That's a great idea!" What?

 

I can't speak specifically to daily being redirected, but the play area was part of trying to design a unified location for playing against other people, as I understand it. 

Which was needed . . . why, exactly?  Of the problems I've had on chess.com, being able to start a chess game isn't among them.

The new UX changes to Daily Chess page makes me want to play less Chess. Surely this wasn't the intention of the changes.

Please revert back to the old and highly useful  https://www.chess.com/daily page rather than the new and obviously broken https://www.chess.com/play/online/daily

-Thanks

It seems that the design people of site don't play chess here at all. Bugs + inconveniences - our everything

They've now changed the link on the Home page. I just noticed today that if you go Home first and then click on "Daily", it takes you to the Play/Daily (the useless one). But I can still (for now) get to the useful Daily page by using my bookmarked link that others have mentioned above: https://www.chess.com/daily

Oh, this is worse. I'm still using the bookmark for now, but when it's gone, navigating daily games will become tedious.

The new daily layout is indeed horrible! Please go back to the old one! Thanks

I totally agree with the comments. on this thread.

I usually have 15 daily games on the go at the same time and I liked to see all 15 games on the screen at the same time, so I could dip in and out of games whenever I liked, as well as clearly seeing progress/time etc. Now I can only see four games at a time unless I make them in to a list, in which case the thumbnail is far too small. So annoying!

Can I please have the option of reverting it back to how it was? 

Azrael

as stated previously, you can still (as of this writing, who knows, they may pull the plug on this) you can still view the previous way by going to this URL: https://www.chess.com/daily tbh, that's currently my chess dot com "home" page on my laptop, lol. . . but yeah, I'm not sure which UX people thought the new layout was an improvement. 

MrUtility

Agreed, do not like this change.  The new method does not allow you to see what "Event" the game is part of.  e.g. if playing two tournaments, I can't tell which games are part of which tournament.

Following up:

The new "Home Settings" link on the "Home" page allows me to customize this view similar to the "chess.com/daily" view.  I am able to display up to 24 games in the view.

To view more than 24 games at a time, I believe it is still necessary to navigate to the "chess.com/daily/games/current/[username]" view through the Profile link.

Note:  For now, the old "chess.com/daily" view is still working if you have it saved or manually type it in.  But, I don't see a link to it through the navigation menu.
