I agree too. Too many times I've slid a rook one square short of where I wanted to slide it.

Bump, it's ridiculous that this feature still doesn't exist, especially since it probably goes against the Americans with Disabilities Act. Maybe someone should file a complaint, that would get chess.com to take notice.

I don't care much about the feature, but I like bumping things...

@EscherehcsE do one from 2007

Well, Yorps are also lazy, and it's a lot of work to find really old threads...

But seriously, now that I've had my fun, I *do* agree that keyboard capability would be very beneficial. But it's like everything else on this site - if it doesn't immediately result in bottom-line profits, it gets deep-sixed.

yeh it's only great for new players, so there are lots of reasons older entrenched players won't want this sorted. After a couple of years on this site I could be starting to fall into this category xD

 

it does seem hugely old fashioned / non progressive though, imo.

The ADA only requires "reasonable accommodations".  They don't require fundamental changes.
