Hello, I've been playing bullet chess since 2009, i have only 2 dislikes. One is that you should be able to play as a guest when you have subscribed., and not get the commercials, All guests would subscribe then! Second world be to be able to lock the screen. I prefer to drag the pieces and when I move left the whole screen slides to the left which makes me lose by a few seconds nearly every game. Flyordie is the only chess site I play on and have got heaps of people to join over the years. Please consider fixing these 2 problems. The first problem could be fixed by having a option to play as a guest once you have signed in. The second would be fixed by having a switch that when activated the screen stays put! Thanks Regards Anthony.

I’ve played plenty of chess on iPad/iPhone and haven’t had the issue with the screen sliding during moves. The only time it happens is if you don’t actually grab the chess piece, then the device interprets it as a screen swipe instead of a move. In bullet chess every second matters, so it’s easy to slip, but if you make sure to tap the piece first and then drag it, the screen won’t shift and you won’t lose time. As for the idea of subscribers being able to switch to “guest mode,” I don’t really see a benefit. If it’s just about practice games, you can always play against guest accounts directly. Your suggestions are thoughtful and I can see why you raised them, but from my experience the screen issue comes down to technique, and the guest option isn’t really necessary.
