I don't mean to sound picky and I don't mind going over to chesshere, just saying that you could win me over 100% and I'd probably never go to chesshere again if some of these things were improved.
If you don't think it's worth it, I'm fine with that and will continue doing correspondance on chesshere.
Beware of confusion in this post; Make sure you dont confuse chesshere and Chess.com
I used to play on chesshere.com, but it only let you do 3 live games a day! This really anoyed me and I was considering getting a premioum membership at chesshere just so I could play more games. But i had a moment of inspiration and decided to check out chess.com before dumping money into a premium membership. I got an acount on Chess.com and decided that I liked the interface on just about evrything better, the forums actually had people posting in them, and There was no limit to the number of realtime games that could be played.
I have now switch almost completely over to chess.com, but there is one aspect of chess.com that I think could be improved. It is not that big of a problem and is probably the downside of getting unlimited realtimes, but I don't prefer the correspondance Interface.
I will make a comparison below with the winner being bright blue:
Chess.com Chesshere
correspondence from home correspondance from a correspondance
games page
draggable pieces only click and move pieces
no game reminder game reminder that flips through the
game automatically when you press a
button.
tabs that can only be viewed one at a everything viewed at the same time on time the screen
8 vacation days 40 vacation days
game notes in a tab game notes right in front of you
I could probably find more (and a couple for Chess.com) but you get the idea. As a generall rule i like chesshere's correspondance interface and even if vacation days stayed the same at chesshere, the other items would be greatly apprciated.
PS I know that some of these are probably fixed in premium accounts.
PS both websites are evaluated based on free membership.
PS This is a minor point as I don't play correspondance as much and Chess.com has a much higher overall rating in my book.
PS I know that I may be slightly biased towards chesshere since i started there, but I happily swichted to Chess.com for everything else when I realized it was better, so I would rate myself as open to change.
