• The Power of Community

  The advent of the internet led to the creation of online communities, which has evolved into various forms such as gaming communities (like EASports Online), football communities (like Footyaddicts), chess communities (like chess.com), and programming communities (like Laravel and Rails community, Google Developer groups, forloop Africa). - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• How I hacked chess.com with a rookie exploit

  Clearly chess.com was using something like "starts with" to process the re-upload. Basically don't re-upload if it starts with https://chess.com, but filter out if it starts with https://chess.com/registration-invite Typically same origin policies are relaxed for things like images by default [0]. So they came up with a trampoline, they created a chess.com.theirDomain.tld to get past the re-upload filter, which in... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Chess.com now has a „prediction booth“ after Firouzja complained about the CCT predictions being made in front of the players

  I haven't been staying current, chess.com commentators were analyzing games in earshot of players? Source: 5 months ago

• is chessbotX cheating?

  Do people know about this tool, its really making me wonder if cheating with these bots is super prevalent on chess.com and lichess. Source: 5 months ago

• Chess.com terrible coverage

  I for one found chess.com's coverage good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdgbmdsZEMs. Source: 5 months ago

• Chess.com terrible coverage

  National ones? chess.com has national channels? Source: 5 months ago

• I made myself a free version of chess.com's game review!

  It uses stockfish and python running on my local machine. I added some other features too, like some metrics of a position, ACPL, and a "roast" mode where the reviews on mistakes are harsher. I could release it publicly, but I'm kinda worried whether this counts as "reproduction of content" of chess.com's game review after seeing this on the user agreement. Source: 5 months ago

• higher rated opponent won't move

  Good decision; lichess is better than chess.com if you don't have cc premium. Source: 5 months ago

• Chess.com terrible coverage

  Yes. I think the chess.com coverage is awful. It's gotten so corporate and they're clearly forcing everyone to constantly be talking and are putting way too much emphasis on the engine. We can all see the engine swinging. We don't need the commentators to talk about it. If they have GMs (and relatively strong GMs at that) commentating, I don't want to hear them say what the engine says, I want them to give their... Source: 5 months ago

• What's your blitz/rapid rating on chess dot com and what's your highest Puzzle Rush survivor score?

  I don't use my daily free puzzle rush on survival but I'm like 1800 chess.com rapid and my 3-minute pb is 36. Source: 5 months ago

• The Chess.com Stream has been pretty infuriating

  Agreed. It's really fun to watch these events and I appreciate that chess.com is organizing an OTB event with nearly all of the top players, but the broadcast has not been up to par. Besides frequent technical glitches, they decided not to really show one of the greatest rivalries in recent chess history, perhaps ever. While Lazavik undoubtedly scored an impressive upset against MVL, it's obvious that all of the... Source: 5 months ago

• Good game on chess.com

  Had a good game on chess.com today, ChessnutVision may have glitched right at move 3 but easily fixed and then it was flawless. (No I do not have video of it. ). Source: 5 months ago

• How to play against Ai bot with chat?

  Alternatively, is there a way to play against real people on demand? As in playing real people like you would on chess.com , instead of pre-timed matches. Source: 5 months ago

• 2000 uscf/fide in 4 years

  Im a freshman rn and I wanna try getting a state or national level in chess. Is it possible for me to do it in 4 years? Im 1200 in chess.com right now. Source: 5 months ago

• Suddenly in a slump

  Yeah I understand that I suppose. I guess I am more confused by my halt in progress, I even have a chess coach and the ultimate goal of 2k blitz on chess.com. I could bring this up to them but I believe more than one perspective is always useful. Source: 5 months ago

• How to improve ELO blitz rate above 500-600?

  I practice the tactics, the puzzles and the lessons on chess.com, but I've been struggling to get better at blitz. Source: 5 months ago

• Is there anything black can do? ( sorry I know it’s stupid )

  Sorry I can't analyze a chess scenario unless it's a screenshot of a chess.com board. Source: 5 months ago

• Tyler1 has a higher puzzle rating than Hikaru, and a higher top puzzle rating that Gothamchess. Does this mean anything significant?

  No, the likes of hikaru and levi just aren't interested in chess.com tactics. Source: 5 months ago

• Cloudflare DNS stopped working totally!

  To add on this, I don't know why would it be blocked, but chess.com (website, app still works) has also stopped working from worldlink's default DNS. I'm using Google DNS now to just even play chess lol. I don't know if Google's DNS is next! Source: 5 months ago

• Played one game ten years ago and it’s messing up my graph. Any way to delete it?

  On my first day at chess.com I played 2 games won them both giving me a rating of 1500. Over the next few days I dropped down to the 1100's which was my true level at the time. For almost 2 years my All Time chart would be underwater. Then for a while I'd go between being slightly positive or negative. I've stayed positive now, howevert a slump can take me down to being barely positive again. Source: 5 months ago

• Played one game ten years ago and it’s messing up my graph. Any way to delete it?
