How about playing a beep or something when in "wait for any game" and a move is available?

I think it's a great idea, provided that it's an option which can be turned off. Means you can do other work while waiting, without having to keep checking back.

I hope this thread can be moved to Site Ideas.

I meant to suggest it as an option, of course...

Handy when bimbling about the house etc

C'mon RHP development, how about it then...

Zenic will think a fire alarm has gone off.

He has 778 games on the go. Imagine what it would be like
in his house when the moves started coming in.

Better still can we have the moves spoken to us in a sexy female voice.

"Your opponent has just played 23. Bxh7 check."

You can get the software for that Russ at a knockdown price.
Go to some organisation and tell you are running a chess site
for 18,000 chess players with very poor eye sight.

(Show them some of VR's posts and his spelling mistakes - they will believe you) 🙂

On chess.com I have an option set (note, it's an option) to make a small popping noise when there is a move waiting. So I can play happily on RHP - or even do some work - until the pop alerts me to switch back to the other tab. It has a practical benefit, it avoids me constantly refreshing the page over and over when I'm feeling fidgety!

Standard computer voice"You've Got.. chess"

I think a version of the MS help paper-clip which pops up freezing all your other sessions and taps on the screen until you move would prevent all the people who annoyingly play to long time settings having an unfair advantage.

If you use Firefox, I created an add-on that would play a sound when you had new moves. It checks every 5 minutes by default. It's a little bit neglected since I haven't had any time to work on it. You can find it at:
