There have been debates regarding the use of opening explorer in daily chess, but is it considered cheating?
Opening Explorer Update

Using opening explorer is a part of daily chess, so it's definitely fine. Cheating with an engine is not.

No, there is no opening explorer for Fischer Random
The beauty of OTB Fischer, no opening preparation, no engines, no ambushing, no cheating...
Just your own knowledge and true understanding of the game...

The exact same thing happened to me this morning while looking at a variation of the Queen's Gambit. I was wondering what happened
yeah, glad it's not just me

No it isn't just you Jason I saw that too where it doesn't give you the updated board position it just gives you the opening 5 moves which is stupid if you are a premium member

Roses are red
That's not what I meant to say
Reading EnergeticHay makes you gray
lol what

On the app everything is the same, or maybe I haven’t updated yet.
interesting, I never use mobile chess.com so I wouldn't know
Recently, chess.com updated a lot of things including opening explorer.
I don't know if it's just me, but now in daily chess when I want to click on the link to see what moves have been played, it doesn't lead me to the exact position I'm on. Instead, it merely links me to the general variation that we are in. I end up having to manually input a few moves each time since the game usually has branched off from the start of the variation.
Let me know your thoughts on this please, thanks!
