Loving the New Play Feature in Online Chess! :-)

Loving the new play feature in online chess! :-)

In the moves panel, where you can play through the moves, there's now a play button you can click that plays your game in its entirety.

Very cool feature. I had seen something like that at other sites, but now the best is even better!

Good work Chess.com

What are your thoughts fellow Chess.com customers/members?

Only good thing about the update

Agree with you. Especially this "play" button. But I don't like the new look of the board in forums. Looks too much like the one on reddit.

I don't like the new look of the board either. However, the play button is nice like you said.

I hate the play button - I keep hitting it by accident when I mean to hit the button's to move back or forward 1 move.

It's a nice feature, the button is just in the wrong spot in my opinion. Go forward a move, and go back a move should be right next to each other. The vast majority of the time those are the only two buttons I press, therefore they should be as close to each other as possible.

I like the play button since it is faster to look at a game. But my biggest issue still is looking at one move during an live chess game. The problem is that if you watch a game and start from the beginning, the game would move to its current position when someone makes their move instead of the beginning position that you wanted to see how the opening was played out. Good updates by chess.com 

One thing I picked up on, is if you adjust your browser's zoom it can affect the new layout.

At first, it looked like there was something wrong with the way the diagrams displayed, but then I set my browser's zoom to 100% and it appeared perfectly, the way it's supposed to be.
