Hi, everyone. I'm the programmer at Chess.com who made this gadget. In this comment section, it's pretty impossible for me to prove that, so you shouldn't trust anyone here who claims to represent Chess.com, even me! Instead, if you need support for this app, you might find an answer in our knowledge base http://support.chess.com/ or you can ask our support team at http://support.chess.com/index.php?_m=tickets&_a=submit (English is our primary language; we'll do our best with Google translate for anything else.) Thanks so much for the positive feedback! I'm glad so many of you are having fun. Sorry we haven't responded to your comments -- we didn't view this page often enough to see them. Sorry! Some of you are seeing the server slow down a lot at times. We have seen this problem and are trying to identify the cause. Once we do, we should be able to fix it quickly. Still, this might mean a few more days before the problem is fixed. @Bilâl Güvenç: I'll take a look at the "Random" setting. Thanks for pointing it out. @Sean Brann, @Sandy McForster, @John Russell: Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Some of your problems should have been fixed since then. If you are still experiencing the problems, please ask our support team about it.

This is a great app. It keeps me coming back to iGoogle day after day. I haven't found any major bugs, and I've been played 3 full games already. I wish someone would make an app like this for backgammon.
I have my igoogle games in one screen and my chess.com games in another. Can I play my chess.com games on igoogle? Thanks for the gadget! By far a favorite!
Random does not work !!!Bilâl Güvenç is good Türk :) - Oct 22, 2009 - Report this comment
If someone challenges with play as RANDOM, this person ALWAYS plays as WHITE and opponent ALWAYS plays as BLACK. In other words if someone accepts a challenge with play as RANDOM, this person ALWAYS plays as BLACK and challenger ALWAYS plays as WHITE. Therefore there is no RANDOM function which works correctly. In other words play as RANDOM does not work.

I am LGIN : javedbasit on CHESS.COM Would some any Nation's Grand Master/ International Grand Master ANYWHERE on Earth like to PLAY with me?
I have returned from vacation to find the whole gadget disabled. Tried to go on chess.com to update my status there; no dice. Tried refreshing, logging in again, nothing. I've got a couple of games going I'd like to finish.
2 Suggestions for better chessBilâl Güvenç is good Türk :) - Oct 12, 2009 - Report this comment
1) Analysis board doesn't let me continue from middle of game if it does it would be better. 2) Uploading PGN files would be good so we don't need to install any chess game our computer to watch played games. Additionally you could link for watching world cup games' PGN files too.
When u let people use trhe 15 day rule,As soon as they get in be hind on peaces they use it.I agree on one days play.Not 16 days.
Not available in my locale? - Anonymous - Sep 14, 2009 - Report this comment

Comment on iGoogle Chess - SWAPNIL RUSTAGI - Sep 2, 2009 - Report this comment
The comment is that when I added the gadget and opened iGoogle, then I pointed to Chess but there were no hyperlinks or any other thing which I can use to start the game.
How to tackle opponents who disappear in a losing position? Will it improve my rating if their time ran out after they made like 20+ moves before disappearing?
decent but still a little too 'heavy' - Anonymous - Aug 29, 2009 - Report this comment
still a bit clunky for plug-in. i'm looking forward to future releases, perhaps something a bit simpler.
I've had a lot of problems with this gadget and refreshing. It never updates its state unless I refresh the page and sometimes when I go from the maximized view back to the normal google/ig view, it reverts to its default "Welcome" page and only a refresh fixes it. Its kind of a hassle to have to refresh all the time. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks.
