We would like to announce that a brand new ChessConquest website is in the making. Changes to look forward to includes:

* Improved interface for a better user experience.
* Swiss chess tournaments instead of knock-out.
* Chess 960 variant with separate rankings for this variant.
* And many more minor improvements.

We do not have an ETA on the expected launch date for this exciting upgrade, but please watch this space for more information.

What I am missing:

- overview of my games:
- - which kind of game is it? (Friendly, Tournament,)
- - how much time is remainging for the game?
- - sorting the game list by time

- after apply moving in a game, would be nice to automatically jump to the next game

- possibility to download more than one game at once

- possibility to create personal tournament with personal time limit and count of chess players

Thanks for this really good chess site!

Thank you so much for this valuable feedback Sorim, we will definitely take it into account while working on the new interface.

One feature we also plan to add to the new interface is an indicator when a player is online.

If anyone else have any specific feature requests… now would be a good time to mention it here.

Even though we have already started building the new site, we are open to adding new features that will benefit players.

Please add a message system outside game play (if possible) thanx

 Yotta (1147)    8 May 2024 03:33:07

Noted KUL… will look into it.

 tjrm (1317)    18 May 2024 23:11:17

Would appreciate option to place one and/or two day time limits in open invites.

 Yotta (1147)    19 May 2024 06:23:26

We’ve added your request to the list Tjrm.

Is the games notes feature something you guys use, and would like to keep in the new version of CC?

 ketchuplover (1355)    19 May 2024 19:16:15

I never use the notes

 sorim (1173)    20 May 2024 04:57:59

I always use the notes

 Yotta (1147)    21 May 2024 03:44:07

We are keeping notes in new version.

When? At the current rate of play I could be waiting for months after I win my game against Jordy. Will the new chess structure be any better?

 Yotta (1147)    29 May 2024 05:04:15

The new chess structures should make a noticeable improvement. Replacing knockout tournaments with swiss will already make a big difference.

 Yotta (1147)    29 May 2024 05:07:21

Is that what you are referring to as “structure” Ageling?

The behaviour is different depending on the device weich I use
World be nice to configure this manual
For example click on Pieve instead of drag and dropp

 sorim (1173)    1 Jun 2024 11:31:36

Click on Piece

 tjrm (1317)    1 Jun 2024 17:00:28

For me, I am with Sorim here. I use a touchpad on a Chromebook, and the drag & drop is often difficult: e.g., calling up the debug screen, copying the piece image for download, simply not registering the selection, or moving to a square that I'm not intending, etc. Click on piece, then click on destination avoids all these.

 Yotta (1147)    3 Jun 2024 03:38:06

Thank you for all the feedback regarding the movement of pieces on different devices. We will make sure to improve this.

 ketchuplover (1355)    11 Jun 2024 10:09:03

How many people are working on the upgrade? ty

 Yotta (1147)    12 Jun 2024 03:45:02

Currently only one developer. We hope to add another developer some time soon in the future.

 masteryeo (851)    26 Oct 2024 15:55:48

Can we count on a moves list for all players?

 Yotta (1147)    1 Nov 2024 03:37:58

Your request is added to the development list Masteryeo

 sorim (1173)    2 Nov 2024 05:35:29

Yes, a sort of list where we can see our current games and check how much time we have left to play.
Currently we have to jump to each game to see if we are running out of time or not. Very inconvenient.
