Why when playing chess you can't communicate with your opponent any time,not only before you make the move?. Why can't have games from one hr. minimum to many days as they are ??

There is a live chess feature, where you can message as often as you like, and obviously have very short clocks too.

Right now there is no rating for these games, so I understand the lack of interest generally in the live feature, but after the next major site update, a live rating will be trialed.

@Russ; Would be a good idea to increase the live to 1 hour rated or unrated I'm 83 years old and 90% at home therefore I can have more games in one day.

I think that if you only have one game going on with someone else and regret not having made a comment with your move, you could still message the other person outside of the game (if they haven't blocked you).

And even if you have several games going on with them, you could include a link to the game in question in the message for reference.


@Arkturos; Years ago before I joined redhotpawn I played chess at 'CHESS MANIACS' you could chat eny time during the game not only after the move!

On my side (approaching 66 years of age), there are also some things I fondly remember that either are no more or are done differently now, if at all -- so I do commiserate to some degree.

Well, hoping you can still make the best of things as they are! 🙂

We cannot complain before or after (as far as I know), so this is our time to complain. 😉


@Arkturos; Yes,right??.

When you chat during a game and it is not your move, you are using their time to have a conversation. This should be considered bad form.

I support this being not allowed.
