How long will we have to wait before Chess.com adds a classical rating and therefore convinces more people to play slow, serious chess online?

[lost lake]

When will we able to have conditional pre-moves?

[gaunt kestrel]

subtle cheating (engine help only in 1–2 critical positions per game) is the #1 suspicion online soo does your system reliably catch that, or does it mostly nail the obvious engine babies who play 95%+ accuracy every game? how many moves or patterns trigger human review?

[frank nexus]

(added the q but i think we do have that in the https://www.chess.com/classroom)

[gaunt kestrel]

[frank nexus]

[dull ingot]

Has chess.com ever considered adding AI chatbot to the app to help people learn from their mistakes and learn more by asking questions as the coach only points out the best move even in a complex position

[gaunt kestrel]

how has the algorithm evolved in 2025–2026 to handle subtler cheating (like selective engine use in just 1–2 key positions) while keeping false positives as low as possible? what's one major update or new signal (without revealing secrets) that's helped separate the arms race winners from the engine-babies? and looking ahead, with stronger AIs and creative methods emerging, what's the biggest challenge or exciting tool on the horizon to stay ahead and more real-time monitoring like proctor expansion, better stats transparency for appeals, or something else?

[lost lake]

What is one change that you made to the game of chess, which you wont ever forget?

[dull ingot]

No free move feedback in analysis 😕

[gaunt kestrel]

why isnt there a streak flexing option where you can put your streak next to your name (all time best) and which the color changes on the size of the streak

[lost lake]

would be fire

[gaunt kestrel]

yee

why does chess.com focus on adding more and more things instead of focusing on bugfixes

there are a lot of bugs

[frank nexus]

[zenith ice]

Will analysis ever be free?

[umbral cloud]

I FW THIS

[dull ingot]

Fw?

[midnight mantle]

Whenever a player gets disconnected, they lose the game due to abandonment.
My question is, why is the countdown for auto-abandonment so low when a player actually gets disconnected… especially in 10+0 games?
I feel like it should be at least 2 minutes in 10+0 and longer formats.
I know this isn’t the correct place to ask this question, but just wanted your views. 🙂

What are your views in the use of AI goggles to cheat in Chess?
What do you think can be done to prevent it?

[sudden quiver]

What's the possibility to reach 2000 elo

[vestal mountain]
