We have a proverb here (in France) that says, “Practice makes perfect.” Perhaps they are simply trying to find the best interface through trial and error. Let's trust them, because I am convinced they will succeed...
Yes, this is progress. They have to keep trying.
Since the latest update the chess.com website is extremly slow and playing blitz online is currently impossible for me due to lag. Is that the price for a pretty useless UI renovation? you're kidding, chess.com...
wonder if I have to move to lichess to play online.
I'm glad it's not only me @Gerd_Froebe. When I'm puzzle-solving, I go too fast for this UI (it would seem), and I think I have moved, so I do the next move, then it gives me a minus.

How do I get rid of this stupid thing blocking all my controls at the top when someone moves

Check the notification 🙂
You can disable those in settings but I think there is supposed to be an X if you hover over them to dismiss
Nevermind I found it
Its still really dumb because it keeps popping up even when I click on other stuff

I'm seeing they've given us some customization options, can we get some way to customize notifications? like a way to move them around on the screen (higher up) or some sort of hover mouse to open it.
I woke up this morning, made some scrambled eggs, and opened Chess.com like I always do. But when I hovered over the “chess.com” menu, instead of seeing my notifications, I saw a message that said, “This menu has moved.”
Just like that, we’re faced with another UI update that feels both unwanted and unnecessary. The site has made navigating the forums and the social side of Chess.com in general more difficult than it should be. You can only see about ten notifications at a time now, which means that often, it’s quicker to manually search through threads to find what you missed. Having all notifications—daily games, messages, thread replies—available from one hover menu made perfect sense. This new layout doesn’t improve anything; it just disrupts a system that had been working fine for months.
Even when I try to look at it from the viewpoint of the average chess player, the change still doesn’t make sense. Daily games and challenges are harder to navigate, and the overall experience is pretty much the same as before, just more inconvenient.
Why does Chess.com keep changing things for its users with constant UI updates, especially when it’s clear they aren’t needed? This has happened several times in the past year alone, and each time it feels like change just for the sake of change.
PS: Yes, I know I’m late to the party on this update, but it’s still frustrating.
Can't even find leagues in the menu😭

There’s no option for moving the locations.

Leagues has never been in the menu.

Well at least I know how to get to leagues
Bro this UI update sucks , nowadays everything is becoming minimalistic just like how the world is losing its color I think so same is happening with chess .
