Justice for iOS

Guys, I suggested at the Chess.com Feedback thread to equalize Android and iOS, and do you know what happened? @AndrewSmith changed the message to this: "edited andrewsmith". This is an official silencing action from the moderators!

There are endgame drills on the app.
What’s an endgame leaderboard?

#123 saving a bot game to your archive is also called game review.

There’s no way to game review without saving it, there’s no way to save it without game review.

Yes, there are drills on the app. However, the “endgames” feature is not available on the iOS app. It is a sort of “time trial” mode, where you are dropped into five progressively harder boards of the same endgame (Checkmate with Queen, checkmate with Rook, etc.), starting further away from checkmate each time. If you clear them quickly, you can get onto a leaderboard showcasing the fastest times.

The drills aren’t that good, because you always start from the same position, making it more dull and not really truly preparing you for real games, where you might need to do it in different situations.

The Endgames feature is better, since you always start from a different position, making it more fun to practice your checkmating or endgame conversion, as well as cultivating a deeper understanding of how to checkmate in general, rather than just doing the same thing over and over.

Sadly, this better version of Drills is exclusively not available on the iOS app.

Yes, you can save bot games to your archive on iOS. However, on both the website and Android apps, they can also be deleted (say you accidentally saved them, or you don’t need them.) This feature is exclusively not present on the iOS app.

Yep, there’s a “Save Game” button in the little list menu in the bottom-left corner. Click that and press “Save Game.”

Guys, I just lost again because of the inequality of the iOS app. I was in a time scramble in a blitz game, and I could not multiple premove.

Yes. iOS inequality is certain the reason for some of our losses. It’s kinda contradictory that they’re so focused on Fair Play as one of their values, while giving iOS multiple disadvantages. I still don’t get that.

But Fair Play is a very big problem on chess.com, too. But yeah, basically chess.com is violating the Fair Play policies by nerfing iOS users.

There’s a 13 year old forum requesting conditional moves by @reepicheep99.
It’s really tempting to bump it and say “Hey, it’s been 13 years. Any progress, chess.com?”
