Computer resignation, FLIP BOARD, ECO list (complete)

Sort:
Gontar

Dear Chess.com,

 

              I don't see a resignation feature when playing the online computer. This is useful because it makes ending the game and starting a new one more natural and in keeping with traditional chess. It also would inform the viewer of the game its result either if he viewed the game online or offline. Also I don't see a Save PGN option for computer games.  It may exist in analysis mode (I didn't check) but it would be useful for both archive and analysis modes anyway.

 

     Secondly, apparently (in at least New chess.com) there is no Flip board function when viewing games in the Archive area. As a consequence you have to go to Analysis mode to Flip Board . You might consider making Flip Board a universal feature everywhere, unless you consider that in certain instances, for example Live Chess, it violates official rules of chess.

 

Thirdly, I don't see the complete ECO list option for Daily Chess games at the New chess.com. This list is important for a number of reasons, one of them being didactic. Incidentally, it might also be interesting to put this ECO option in the Live Chess feature so players would have the opportunity to choose from that wide range of openings and make challenges with them accordingly.

   

 

Thanks very much and keep up the good work,

I agree. Especially the "flip board" or "reverse view" feature. That seems necessary in Daily Chess as well as other places.
