New site awesome! Fast. Simple. I like it a lot.
Maybe I saw this? I was in focus mode (nice GREAT GREAT feature) and my opponent offered me a rematch but I couldn't see the rematch accept button. I'm an old fart maybe missed it.
Anyway it's fantastic please keep up.
@xming, OK - I saw found the 👀 eye icon and could filter chit-chat. However, I wonder if that is a premium function, and that may not be why he's able to set it?
Also - the V3 version of Chess.tv is ... atrocious. The black pieces are hideous. The V2 version of Chess TV used the player's board settings (or they could be set). The V3 board is too oblong-tall ⇡⇣ to fit nicely in to my PC-sized browser window 📺 .. it is uncomfortable compared to what we had in V2. Any way to revert back to the old days for Chess TV???

There is medication for that.
As they say: Why fix it if it isn't broken?

I looked, but I can't copy/paste now as the chess tv isn't on at the moment...
It was to the right of the chat-window itself, it was a pop-up menu. I'm on Win 8.1 w/ Firefox v. 50.

Ok, thanks. I will look into it.

I guess they were thinking that "might makes right"
but since the members think that this might be wrong
is better to return to V2 as soon as possible
I have one question. If there are this many current members unhappy and/or confused with the new version, how does chess.com attract new members with it? The focus should be on the simplicity of playing chess and enjoying the extra features the site offers. The focal point should not be state of the art technology. It should be easy to understand, navigate, and play chess in a relaxed mode. The new version is causing stress. Not good for vision and focus on the chess games.
The site attracts new members the way it always has. By offering chess and chess resources. Over 7,000 accounts have been created in the past 24 hours.
To repeat a previous contributor " I will continue to use v2 until it's discontinued, then, I'm gone."
I do not like it since it pairs me down all the time when I have set it to a range that ought to include the whole range not just the bottom end. And it disconnected in the middle of a game, not my fault.
Yeah, it disconnected me too!
the new site is very confusing
It's not confusing to me. But I'm new. Never fell in love with v2. All I know is v3, and I like it just fine.
And as far as people threatening to leave -- don't threaten, just leave. Why post that you're leaving? It sounds like a rather pathetic threat of some kind, as though, if you're not around, the world will end. It won't. Just sign off and go.

Just checked. Its not there.
As fas as chess.tv is concerned, I understand they are using the 'official widget', but its a poorer edition to what we used to have in V2 (when it was a valid option).
Chess24 offers--a succinct board. Pro Commentary (akin to the Sinquefield Cup---though the Sinquefield Commentary is far superior). You can see engine results real-time. You can see player commentary as well, or not. All in one browser window without needing to resize or ... dare-I-say ... Scroll for it.
V3 would be so much better with a chessboard with a decent representation of pieces... and how about Chess.com's own commentary in an optional window? Can't be any worse than the foreigners with heavy accents in Chess24. Or a live-feed in a side window of the actual players playing (something Chess24 doesn't have)?
Come on.. bring back the full, 2015-V2 until you get V3 ... READY for production. At least I'll get a board I can look at without ... straining my eyes.... .
Prefer the old site, and I will stay on it until I'm forced off.
