Chess.com Improvement Ideas

I think chess.com should add 30sec games to livechess.

I also think that there should be chess960 computers

And correspondence chess computers

Sorry for the separation of comments, deleting comments here is impossible.

I think they should add chess variants such as 3 check to daily chess. (these are just improvement ideas)

Bullet Titled Tuesdays or Bullet Grandmaster Blitz Battles

I believe there should be 1 minute Bullet Titled Tuesdays with a lot of rounds (lets say 20 rounds) and Grandmaster Blitz Battles that only have 1 minute controls; an hour long process of games in GMBB so people could watch the whole show instead of enduring to watch 3 long hours. 

I agree...30 sec games with 1 sec. time increment optional would be great

Correspondence conditional moves should be more sophisticated, in which you can choose to start from a key position and do conditional moves, for example: 

Why don't the two players just throw all their pieces at each other, and the one that catches the most wins?

This trend toward shorter and shorter games is asinine.

That would require premium membership.

I am not talking about the multiple amount of conditional moves possible, I am talking about conditional moving from a future move to save time. Lets say for example, a new chess game: I play e4, I conditionally move black c5 and I reply Nf3, then I want to do conditional moves STARTING FROM Nf3 to make 5 conditional moves at the Nf3 position. With the version now, you would have to make a new line from where the chess board is CURRENTLY but there should be a choice to start a "conditional move within a conditional move". 

Another site has 30sec games and I play there and many others play 30sec games too. I see that "flagging" and time pressure is a fun way to "enjoy" chess. I know it will not improve your chess as efficiently as slower time controls but it would be nice. 

I hope for allowing complex chess puzzles that involve multiple solutions. If any of you know how to do so please tell me.

Well, there isn't really a limit, but if I were to post a limit then I think perhaps 30sec or 15sec. I am not sure. But for sure a 5sec game would be a game of "playing the most moves and premoving rubbish". But if you see 30sec games on that other site that titled players play, or 1 min games that Hikaru plays vs tiltled players they are more accurate than you think (perhaps more accurate than two 1200 players playing 30 minute games). Playing chess computers that flag at premoving speeds are a great challenge in these bullet games, but I still think a super-GM at bullet would be able to grind a 1600 rated computer that flags. Here is a video that shows me playing 3 30sec games (Perhaps you may get an idea):

What they need is some way to observe users.  Give users an option in the settings to not allow observation and remain private.

Otherwise, when a user goes into analysis mode, like let's say I am looking at a game I played over the board, or a game played between Anand and Carlsen, where I am making moves for both sides, then others can observe me, and there should be a chat box.

What this does is allow say, 3 people that are friends, maybe one in Chicago, one in New York, and one in San Francisco, to go over a game played.  Let's say it was a game played by the person from Chicago in the 9th round of the World Open, and him and his friends want to go over it.  The Chicago guy can go into examine mode, or "analysis" mode, and make the moves while the New York and San Francisco guy can chat and say things like "Wait a second, go back to move 43.  What do you do if Black plays 43...Nf4?  I think Black's winning there", and then the guy that's controlling the board, the guy from Chicago, can go back to move 43 and everyone can observe and comment on 43...Nf4, and maybe the other observer is like "Yeah, he's right, because if you do 44.gxf4, you are mated in 7 with ..."

Also, you are only getting chat and comments from the 2 people observing.  It's not like a public chat room where you are dealing with nonsense of what others are saying, and figuring out which people are talking to you versus someone else, reports of started games between high rated players that are annoying, etc.

There's not really a simple way for one to go into examine mode and have others observe and comment.

I think observing users is good for detecting cheaters, spammers, etc. Also, studying one's games or history can tell you a lot about him and let you choose whether to play or be his friend or not. Can you clarify your response about privacy?
