I'm 4-0 now....i'm never playing this game again LOL 😀

Yeah I just dropped 3 out of 4 (I think) to Jusuh. I'm still over .500 though!
You all will be able to play while i'm at work, so it wont be long 🙁
Hmm, for some reason I didn't expect to encounter the rudeness on this link that is usually associated with Blitz sites. I just finished a game in which my opponent didn't give me a "Hi", "gl", "gg", "ty"..nothing. Of course, I'm sure that the fact htat I killed him didn't help, but he could have said hi.
Originally posted by BLReidIt was me! I wasn't being rude but I've no idea how that chat thingy works! Well played! You thrashed me. How on earth you find time to type and play the moves I don't know.

Sure. The client side code is 3 years old now!
So, anything beyond trivial modifications will need me to dig into my books again, but yes, fire away.

The little "shout out" arrows that show a player's CC rating should probably go to the right. It's difficult to read them if there's stuff on the left. Either that, or they should be a solid color, not semi-transparent as they are now.
Personally, I'd rather see a numerical representation of the piece count.
It would also be nice if CC ratings and time controls were visible during game play.
Would be helpful if you were notified in some way when your game was taken. I have to keep hopping back to the blitz tab to make sure. I think some sites have a sound that notifies you or the icon on the taskbar (at the bottom) blinks.
Need a link on the site (somewhere other than this thread) to open the blitz window. (I'm sure this is coming soon.)
Would be cool if you had the option of sending a challenge to one of the people listed on the blitz page instead of posting your game and having anyone take it.
An option that saved or e-mailed pgns would be good. I know you can get it now (right after the game)--that would just be a nice extra.
Would be great if you could see next to a person's name on RHP that they were online, played blitz and were open to challenges (or had posted a challenge). I find myself waiting in there until someone shows up. I think this would help get a lot more people playing.
I think 2 12 is a fairly standard time control. Might be nice to add it.
Would be nice to be able to click on the name of someone who was playing and observe their game.
The interface can get a little choppy at times, meaning the pieces don't always move smoothly. This makes mouse slips more likely. Is there any way to add "snap to grid" functionality (or something similar) to make this less likely?
That's all for now. Looks great so far. I've played several games now and have had no major problems.
Thanks.
