Is there option for piece movement animation?

Pieces move instantly without animation Frown

That should be true for bullet games only. We do animate in slower games (blitz/standard).

Hi Piotr, why would you want there to be no piece movement animation during bullet games? It is extremely frustrating to have the piece move instantly, and sometimes I don't even realize that my opponent has moved. On every other site I play online chess, there is piece animation which is smooth as ever (even in bullet games) Can this option not be included even with chess.com?

How do I stop piece animation during, for example, 3-minute, games?

Pay attention kids. This is what happens when you stop taking your medication.

"May global warming wipe you and yours out completely" is one heck of a curse. The rest of the post might be incoherent babbling, but just because of this it was worth reading that long piece of nonsense.

Chess.com piece animation is another ploy by the American government. Trump is definitely behind it. Your mental breakdown over the piece animation is justified. The tenth of a second animation is disgusting and I hope chess.com shuts down because of it.

This is to voice my dissatisfaction with Chess.com's escapades. Let us note first of all that if Chess.com feels ridiculed by all the attention my letters are bringing it, then that's just too darn bad. Its arrogance has brought this upon itself.

Worse yet, Chess.com wants to fan the flames of nihilism into a planet-spanning inferno. I have an intense dislike of combative ultracrepidarians. Fortunately, combative ultracrepidarians don't normally convince every smear sheet in the country to refer to Chess.com's opponents as the most destructive goofballs I've ever seen. Chess.com, in contrast, does little else, which leads me to believe that I have often maintained that reasonable people can reasonably disagree. Unfortunately, when dealing with Chess.com and its tuft-hunters, that claim assumes facts not in evidence. So let me claim instead that Chess.com parrots whatever ideas are fashionable at the moment. When the fashions change, its ideas will change instantly like a weathercock.

While Chess.com insists that it values our perspectives, reality dictates otherwise. Actually, if you want a real dose of reality, look at how Chess.com would have us believe that it has been robbed of all it does not possess. Such flummery can be quickly dissipated merely by skimming a few random pages from any book on the subject. As someone who is working hard to develop a rational-empirical base for dialogue about Chess.com's remonstrations, I must point out that rapacious mumpsimuses like Chess.com are not born—they are excreted. However unsavory that metaphor may be, Chess.com wants us to feel sorry for the crotchety prats who hasten society's quiescence to moral pluralism and epistemological uncertainty. I profess we should instead feel sorry for their victims, all of whom know full well that many people are looking for a modern-day Moses who will split the sea of commercialism and announce that we may need to picket, demonstrate, march, or strike to stop Chess.com before it can create widespread hysteria. I can't claim that I'm the right person for the job, but I can say that Chess.com's dream is to assume total control over society's means of production. Those with membership cards in its army of dictatorial hypochondriacs will be given whatever they want while the rest of us will be sent away empty-handed. In addition to being thoroughly unfair, such policies promote destroying our moral fiber. Furthermore, it emphatically denounces all of my evidence that there's more than a soupçon of disingenuousness in its comment that the goodness of something is in direct proportion only to the amount of classism in said thing. It does so in a manner strongly reminiscent of the denunciation sessions once held in the Soviet Union and Communist China for those who deviated from the ideological line of those who held power. What's scary about that is that Chess.com claims to have read somewhere that arriving at a true state of comprehension is too difficult and/or time-consuming. I don't doubt that it has indeed read such a thing; one can find all sorts of crazy stuff on the Internet. More reliable sources, however, tend to agree that one of the goals of tribalism is to render meaningless the words “best” and “worst”. Chess.com admires that philosophy because, by annihilating human perceptions of quality, Chess.com's own mediocrity can flourish. Now that this letter has come to an end, I unequivocally hope you walk away from it realizing that with each passing day Chess.com feels less and less opposed to sanctifying its depravity.

So is there a way to turn on animation in 1 minute games? 

I just can't play it without the animation, spending too much time finding which piece moved.
It irritates me so much.

In daily chess, why are the movements jerky?  How can make them smooth?

same. it's really, really jarring and difficult to play or observe. i've written the support staff about this, since it seems like it may also be a bug: the "Animation Type" setting [inside the very-hard-to-spot 'gear' settings button] has no effect at all, no matter what it's set to. so it's not just jarring and borderline-unusable to me but also broken.

Is there an answer to how to fix this?
