Express if you like or do not like the new version of the site
Sort:
I've given it a good try with the new site. Ultimately I still prefer the old.
What I don't like is that the new version makes my desktop PC look like a phone. I play chess on my computer instead of my phone because playing chess on a phone sucks.
So there.
Oh god.
There's 12 of them 
RJC...that's the best post you ever made.
Can someone explain to me how to start a game with some parameters so weaker players can't accept the game. I can't seem to find it on V3. I jump onto V2 to start games right now. It's simple there.
I have downgraded my account and I'm considering changing to another site. The reason is the new site is so slow.
I found the settings, nevermind
Today it lasted about an hour in v3 mode on kindle, will try on computer now

In your Live chess (or Daily), you can set your default Outgoing seek settings and set your ranges there. You can override the defaults by creating a Custom Challenge and modify the ranges.
Thanks found it Martin

| A00: Van Geet Opening |
| A00: Hungarian Opening |
| A00: Sodium Attack |

| A00: Clemenz Opening |
| A00: Saragossa Opening |
| A00: Ware Opening |
| A00: Barnes Opening |

What resize icon? There isn't one on the ipad.
The interface of the website was designed with a cursor in mind. I haven't tried with a mobile device. If it is possible, I doubt is is easy, since hold-drag will probably just move the screen.
I have been told in the past that for mobile, the best solution is the app, at least for some things.
Now that I have thought about it more, if you load the desktop version you should be able to just resize the whole screen. Not sure how well that will work in actually playing a game though.
Load desktop version? I turned on the ipad one day and V3 was there. Seems I had no choice about that. Anyway, how would I load the desktop version on the ipad?

Internet explorer is a main issue
Spacebux wrote:
without additional info, what do all those numbers mean? Is the Other Player(s) white or am I white in those percentages? What does the "FIND" button do? What about those hieroglyhics? why more scrolling?!?!? Remember my issue with scrolling into an abyss in V3? This is another one of those moments.
Game Explorer in V3 is hardly what I would call intuitive.
For comparison--V3:
and, the original, V2:
I 100x prefer the original, V2 version. No explanantion required, all fields are LABELLED. Information is succinct. No scrolling necessary. The V3 version is a downgrade.
I guess many people who pay membership in order to use the game explore they are interested to know that

I agree with Spacebux as well. If a simple word, that everyone can understand, can be a button, and an Icon can be a button as well, why not use the one that needs no explanation?

i am playing a couple of chess 960 games but guess what
they don't appear in my current games with the 960 descrimination but in V3 it looks like all my games are of standard chess
Gone with the disastrous wind of change of V3 like my best game from my homepage, like my themes, like the table of related openings in the game explorer, like any single detail that made this site attractive
Come on, this comedy is turning into tragedy every day, why do we have to continue this?

White flag? Omg. King on side is the symbol of resignation. Any CHESS player knows that.
I remind you also the other anecdote with the resign flag symbol

I don't have access to an iPad so can't give much guidance. On my Android phone, the default browser loads everything in the mobile optimized site, which has limits how far out I can zoom. There is a link at the bottom of most pages to open them to load the page in the Desktop site.
In Chrome, if I specifically request to to load the desktop version, a feature of the browser, it will load the full site. I just tested there and I actually couldn't get smaller, but I am on a phone screen, so I may be limited by that.
It is possible you could do something similar on your device and I don't know which of the two open by default for you.
