Bugged pre-moving
30/04/2024
Kokan Malenko
It's hard to play quickly on mobile. Most of the time the moving gets bugged. It shows the possible movement dots like uoi have selected a piece, but then when you click on a dotted square the piece does not move, you have to select it again and then move. So you don't know if a piece is selected or not, which is a huge issue on lower time controls.

You can’t move the clock to the other side of the board. You can’t search openings by name in the learning section. You can’t skip steps when learning theory. You can’t change sounds and warnings…Lichess was much better in these areas.

Thank you for this feedback on the display of the game timer. We're looking into potential settings to customize this, including its size and its displays on the right or left of the board. We'll also work to add a search option in the "Learn an Opening" section. In the meantime, you can search for specific openings in the menu: Learn > Lesson Library. You can disable sound in the menu: More > Settings > Board. To adjust alerts or notifications, use the menu: More > Settings > Notifications. For more help, please visit: www.chess.com/support

Abandon game
24/04/2025
Velc23
Happened too often- I’ve been playing the 10 min rapid with a random guy who takes 2 minutes to make a move, I had him ready to check mare, I check my email for literally 7 seconds not to fall asleep as the opponent takes an eternity to respond, return to your screen and it says ‘abandoned game’. Not cool.

Developer Response
Sorry for the difficulties! A game may end early if a disconnection occurs, which is designed to prevent players from waiting unnecessarily if an opponent has left the game. However, it should be possible to reconnect within one minute if you disconnect or leave the app during a 10-minute game. Please visit this link for assistance: www.chess.com/support
