Hey bloody, sometimes I can't ignore the last on the list because the little pop-up screen is too low to even see that ignore box. Minor problem.

Hey Fun377, you might not be able to move because your king is in check. You cannot leave your king in check after you move. Also, the king is never actually taken in chess. Checkmate is when your king is in check and there's no way to get it out of check.

...I couldn't move a lot in the actual gameplay; and sometimes the game called a checkmate torwards me while i could still see my king! Is this because of my lack of knowledge in chess or is it something else?

Hey warrior - for learning I'd recommend the wikipedia entry on chess which, I think, is very good:

maybe you can add a notification if the opponent declines the invitation and the possibility to create a game open to anyone instead of challenging someone

Basic chess well done, just have to love it. The addition of a developer who actualy responds to people's comments and tries to make their game better through them means a definate 5/5.

Hi bloodyhorse. Great job on the implementation so far, btw.
Yeah that's what i was thinking of... like an ignore or mute, not a chat filter. I may have used the wrong word there, or at least i could have been clearer.

Collusion - i was wondering about aadding a chat filters - I can also give people moderating abilities for silencing and 'ban from chat'. I also should add an 'ignore' feature for everyone to use as needed.

infinitymaster - if you log into mychess.com, you can add/read comments of games and sometimes see comuter analysis of them.

I appreciate this. The only thing I'd add is a way of easily copying down the log, that way I can analyze my games more. Other than that, 5/5 man, great game.

OneLegged - thanks for the info. I'll be working on communication/sync robustness and will release something before long.

There have been some desync issues lately. One player moves, the other doesn't see it, you have to reload to sync up again and by that time you've lost a couple minutes on the clock. It it would ping every 15 seconds to see if the peers were in sync that would probably fix it.

Options should include a limit per movement. If an opponent gets pissed at you, stays in the window, and lets the timer go to 0 from, say, 15 minutes, it's obnoxious. The "option" prevents abuse of this function, since both players agree.

BUG REPORT:my last game crashed! crached just after trying to promote 3rd pawn to queen. i couldnt move, but my clock still ran, and if I clicked offer draw it sayed it wasnt my turn! that seems a bit buggy to me, also i could still talk to my opp so I was still on the server...

An easy way to show how much material each player has would be nice. For example, if you've exchanged knights and someone is also up a pawn and a rook, it would show a pawn and a rook (if you also show everything that was exchanged, it tends to clutter things up). It helps in evaluating if you want to push things toward the endgame or not.

the other player resigned while I was holding a piece and the app flipped out and threw my piece to a odd location. but nice chess app

Ange, you can figure a couple of seconds difference between your clock and your oppenent's clock for lag. That's not uncommon on any chess server and would account for that situation.

for those that are gonna say "boring" than you better shut up because this is called chess alright? not it's not a action game like you idiots expect...
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
ouch! I haven't seen that yet. Just an fyi for now - if you're not a 'Guest' you can just refresh your browser and the server will resend the game info with the correct timing situation.

Bug: Playing a game, one of us moved really fast, and the timer is timing the wrong guy. When it's my turn to move, his timer counts down, and when it's his turn to move, mine counts down. Only happened once in 15+ games, but wanted to report it.

stupid me, i only checked in the preferences section. please disregard the comment then, i give 5 stars for this slick implementation.

Pilchard - mychess does check for insufficient mating matterial - when it's not possible to mate (if your opponent has a pawn, he can promote it and mate you)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Really should check for stalemate conditions when there are not enough pieces on the board. (e.g. white king and pawn only)
