Chess.com Main: 

For months you've read about Vue this, Vue that... Well for live chess, Vue is for real now!

Live chess is basically brand spanking new from the ground up! It looks exactly the same but the code underneath is new and shiny.

All Vue live means a couple of things for our members:

- Already should be bit faster and smoother.

- You should be on the look out for any connection troubles or any bugs we didn't yet find in our countless hours of testing. If you do find anything, please report! Consider joining the Beta Club  

- We are finally able to get started on fully optimizing live chess and reach the performance level we've been dreaming about.


Thanks so much for all your patience!


- Along with the introduction of Vue, we also released live analysis on all our relayed games making Chess.com a better place to watch spectator chess!

- "Still There" is still there, but has improved! Now instead of bugging everyone who takes too long on a single move, only those with a history of disconnecting or aborting games will be asked to confirm if they are really still there.


- Our Master Games Archive has far more sorting options now making it even easier to find perfect learning material:
