It would be nice if, at the end of a chess.com game, the screen gave options to add friend, say “good game,” or report a player. This has likely already been suggested and I missed it.

I like this idea. I also wish we could see the move count during an online game

You should probably ask @Criptix. If I read the posts right he’s responsible for the feature list
Hi
I’ll put these good ideas on the feature list. Don’t know if it’s for Jeff and his team or for chess.com but we can always ask via the list 
.
Thx for refering me @Clemsisco.

Is the feature list available anywhere for us to see? I’ve seen some posts about upcoming features, but it would be cool to see what is coming next and what has already been suggested.
@Criptix posted this with info about upcoming features with a rough time frame.

And there will be a ranking poll with the features that aren’t on that list soon. There ppl will be able to rank the features from high priority till lowest.
So the developers know what most users want first.
But first the problems with chess.com games have to get 100% in order and then the available list will be implemented first.

Hi Criptix, I was just curious (for a far future feature), would it be possible to have the board test you on board Vision/Coordinates/movement?
Both Chess.com and Lichess have a trainer where it displays a coordinate (or movement) and you have to touch or click the square. You try to get as many correct in 30 seconds. Maybe the screen can display a coordinate and you use a pawn to stamp down on the correct square (and then drag to the correct square if quizzing on movement)
There are a few options that could go along with it, like the option for the coordinate to stay or continue to the next one even if the player gets it wrong. Or light up the correct square or not when the player gets it wrong.

So I made a web app that does what I mention in the previous reply about board Vision. It’s a little hacky, it only works when the board first turns on and all the lights on both sides are on.
In the web app, you use a pawn and just like Lichess and Chess .com, a position is shown and you place the pawn (or any piece) on that position. Then the next position is shown, and you pick up and place the piece in the next spot.
There are toggles for options like, “continue on wrong answer”, and timer or no timer, etc
I’m cleaning it up now, but would it be ok if I share the link here after it’s cleaned up and on a webpage?

Cool idea for the board vision training idea
Cool idea indeed! Happy to test! I don’t see why you wouldn’t share the website. Just curious how you connect the board 
.
Thank you all for all for the quick feedback!
It’s connected via Bluetooth, I thought the ChessConnect chrome extension was necessary but I guess Bluetooth has everything it needs (and chess connect is not open source like I thought it was)
I wanted to use the Board Editor mode but it doesn’t seem to send data through Bluetooth unless it’s in a game mode (or when you initially power it on where both sides flash and display blue lights to where you’re suppose to set up the pieces).
I’ll post the link here later today (or maybe ill make a new thread and link to that thread here?). It’s pretty much done but I want to fix the modes and UI a bit.
I hosted it here, there’s a button you’ll need to click to connect the Chessup2 board, do not change modes on the Chessup board when it starts, just keep it as-is with all the lights on. I can’t seem to get piece movement detection unless it is in that kind of mode. Can’t use a full game mode because I only want to use 1 chess piece. So not ideal but this works, and might even help beginners with Vision since you can easily visually tell which are the back-ranks (1,2, and 7, 8) and which are the middle ones (like 3-6). Anyway, thank you in advanced for any feedback!
(for any concerns regarding the bluetooth connection, I had AI analyze the code and scrutinize the bluetooth parts and it had this to say:
"The app uses Bluetooth in the safest possible way - it only listens to the chess board, never sends any commands to it.
Think of it like:
Radio listener - The app just receives signals when pieces are moved, like listening to a radio station
Read-only access - It can’t change, configure, or control anything on the board
Like pairing headphones - Similar minimal Bluetooth connection, just for receiving data
What it does:
- Connects to only the chess data stream (not battery, settings, or system functions)
- Receives simple position data when pieces are placed
- Immediately disconnects if the board is turned off
What it CAN’T do:
- Send commands to the board
- Access device settings or firmware
- Change how the board works
- Interfere with other Bluetooth devices
Security comparison:
- Safer than connecting wireless headphones (which send audio commands)
- Much safer than phone apps that control smart home devices
- Similar to a fitness tracker that just reads your heart rate
The connection is minimal, read-only, and designed specifically to be as safe as possible while still detecting piece movements for chess training."

Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to make this, I will be using it!

Thank you! I made it with desktop use in mind but I just checked and it works with mobile browsers that support web bluetooth. I just tried with the Bluefy browser on iphone and it works. The UI will need to be updated to look better for mobile so there’s less scrolling needed. Overall probably needs a lot of UI updates. I want to add a better track view of correct and incorrect answer like chess .com does next.

Just tested it on Android with the Samsung browser.
I needed to give permomission to use the bluetooth and it worked great.
It’s a very nice way to train the board vision! Thank you for your time, effort and making this possible.
