2013-11-15	Datr	Personally I would like a "Hint Button", that would work like this. The problem could be presented as just a "Problem", no clue as to whether it is a mate or tacics problem. (Other sites do this) If the player selects to press hint, "Problem" changes to "Mate Problem" or "Tactic Problem" as appropriate, If it is a "Mate Problem" the player could have the option to press the "Hint Button" again, the "Mate Problem" changes to "Mate in X" I think the "Hint Button" would give flexibility and player choice, some players don't want to know whether it is a mate or tactics problem, it makes it more difficult to solve. Some players want to know it is a "Mate in X", I have often found, say, found a Mate in 4 and told I am Wrong, because the mate is in 3, whereas if I had known it was a Mate in 3 I would have looked further.
2013-11-15	Datr	I appear to have exceeded my character count on my previous comments. An Edit/Delete option, as in Comments, would be useful on The Wall
2013-11-15	Datr	Problem numbers used to be m12345 or t12345, they now appear as a number 12345 with a Tactics and Mate Button. I don't quite see the point of this.

2013-11-15	Datr	If En passant is possible this is indicated by pointing at the appropriate pawn. I assume castling rights will also be shown if one points at the king. The FEN string is no longer shown with the Solution, as it used to be. The FEN string is shown when viewing from User or Comments on the Home screen. The font on the FEN string is very small and awkward to copy, I think it would be better if it was a little larger and positioned beneath the game info, this should make it easier to copy.,
2013-11-15	N4pll	One small change: 4. First ply or half move if wrong (not compatible to the solution). Sometimes there is more than one way to a check mate in 4 moves as indicated in your home page N4PLL
2013-11-15	N4pll	Zuril: Here are your changes to your website this week: 1. Next button closer to the chessboard. 2. No castling or en passant privilege possibilities (I don't like this) 3. No number of moves for checkmate 4. Says incorrect on first checkmate if it is wrong. (I don't like this.) 5. Better solution font; easier use on mouse 6. Shows all moves in white on chessboard with that particular piece or pawn. 7. Scroll bar on the right side sometimes disappears 8. No Java needed 9. Not showing pieces on the left side on material advantages 10. Menu rearranged N4PLL
2013-11-13	Zuril	Tirajana: prova a risolvere qualche nuovo esercizio in modalità ELO per vedere se si ripopola la pagina o rimane vuota...
2013-11-13	Tirajana	Se entro su UTENTE -> STATISTICHE le funzioni ESERCIZI DI TATTICA non mostrano più nulla
2013-11-12	Zuril	:-)
2013-11-12	Patwik21	i like this site :D
2013-11-12	Patwik21	i like this site :D
2013-11-11	Zuril	Datr: ah I remember the score leaving the pointer over the move...
2013-11-11	Zuril	Datr: the FEN string is present and the stats too. Sure with the time ideachess with the new chessboard has all the bases to improve.
2013-11-11	Datr	Zuril: Yes, I understood the need and urgency to replace Java and I like the new board. Apart from the problems with Java, I liked the way the site worked and I wouldn't like to lose the features it had. 1. The FEN strings and the stats with the Solution. 2. The move numbers 3. Alternative lines with evaluates etc I hope these can be re-introduced over time.

2013-11-11	Zuril	Datr: and is no more necessary to confirm every three problems that you accept the risk to use the applet!
2013-11-11	Zuril	Datr: I know but the java applet was obsolete and this step was obliged. In the feature we can always improve this one reintroducing multiple solutions mates. I think that with this new chessboard, that don't require to install additional software, the base of ideachess players can grow a lot and you can play on your tablet too!
2013-11-11	Datr	Zuril: I think it is a big mistake to remove mates problems with multiple solutions, they provided interesting ideas and approaches. Also saying "Wrong" on the first move to mate problems has removed a lot of the learning potential for these types of problem. The new board is a good step forward but this has been undermined by the other changes, in my opinion.
2013-11-11	Bynero	Zuril: Thank you very much. it works ... :)
2013-11-11	Zuril	Bynero: skip the problem by clicking on the next problem button. Let me know if it works.
2013-11-11	Bynero	Elo can not figure out the problems at the tactical question. Question skipped. Please help me. "Error: Problem not found" message will be having trouble with.
2013-11-11	Datr	Also, Mate problems don't specify the number of moves unless in the User mode.
2013-11-11	Datr	Zuril: I may be jumping the gun here, but the new board doesn't show the stats or the FEN string. If one goes into User, Latest Problem and view the problem the stats and FEN string can be seen, but it was better when the appeared as before.
2013-11-06	Datr	No it isn't, I know there is a forced mate. The only hope is that my opponent may not have seen it. It is totally different to Hope Chess.
2013-11-06	Garykevinware	"After 1. Rael+ I would play 1. ...Kd6 and hope my opponent hadn't seen the mate." That is 'hope chess'.

2013-11-06	Garykevinware	Why don't you narrow it down so that only Datr can make comments, that way there can be no dissension.
2013-11-06	Garykevinware	Anything is disrespectful to you, unless it is an attack on me.
2013-11-06	Zuril	Can be a good idea Datr...
2013-11-06	Datr	Only players who qualify to have their rating shown should be allowed to make comments.
