Well, thanks everybody for clearing this mystery all up for me.  I was wondering why I kept having to press the chat button most every move!

I hate the new order of things.  Now people are more reluctant to chat

can't all you dwellers see that we're only trying to let the management know that we don't really like the change that their web designers have made? nothing more than that.

It would be funny if your chat glitched and your opponet knew it, so they're putting on the chat all of the moves you could make to checkmate them, then suddenly the chat fixes itself and you win easily.

I also prefer the old method


Ditto...

Was not a change for the better imo.

I'm guessing someones happy. I mean there must have been some serious thought put into the decision..So I'm one of the few who really doesn't like it. And me? a mere flea on the rear of the chess.com elephant!

thanks to all staff

I also appreciate the staff's trying to improve things, but on this one subject I do disagree.  After all, what is more important, chatting or the moves?  I like the chatting.  What I would best like to see is that if a player wanted either the chat or the moves to be the default screen, then they get to choose.

For eample, let's say you want the moves to be the default.  You click on moves and that sets it as default.  Now, unless there has been a chat, the screen defaults to move everytime as it does now.  Conversely, if you wish the default to be chat, you click on chat and it stays on chat until you click on moves again.  This way, everyone has their own choice.

Anyway, not a big thing and great job staff!
