Games where it is your turn to play
Here are feature ideas we are currently considering. Use thumbs up/down to vote on each one and click Tell us more after voting if you want to share more details.
Extend analysis board support to the Manchu variant (that would be with Fairy Stockfish).
Add Janggi (Korean chess).
Please tell us more.
The Game of the Seven Kingdoms is a xiangqi variant that include 7 players. The plan would be to also allow players to play multiple armies, so they wouldn't have to find 7 people to play but just 2, 3 or 4. Later we would also consider adding a 8 armies variant, so the game would be more balanced with 2, 4 or 8 players.
Some work on this variant project has already been done but it's not yet possible to play live online.
More varied type of puzzles than "find the shorted path to mate", more like "find the best move" in this situation.
Make the puzzle page more intuitive on mobile, with a dedicated action block at the bottom of the screen (next puzzle, watch the solution, re-attempt).
Add a pre-move system for live games so players can queue one move while waiting for the opponent's move.
Add a basic cheating detection that checks, for each player-vs-player game, whether the moves match a player-vs-bot game.
Add an emoji box to the in-game chat so players can quickly react during their games.
Have an option to see or not see offensive words. In English or maybe in other languages.
Throttle spammers in the chat, avoid receiving the same annoying message in a short span of time. Or maybe even mute the chat.
Add a little chat box in the Lobby (i.e. on the home page).
Play-vs-Bot has no time limit right now (beside the auto-cancel after 2 or 7 days of inactivity). We could add time control to PvB.
Allow player to backtrack one or multiple steps when playing against the bot.
Vertical orientation for the engine evaluation bar on the analysis board, or when the analysis data is visible on PvP, PvB or DB pages.
Show most played opening on Database player page. That would also allow to play in PvB against a certain player opening later.
Align the opening repertoire data (visible in the Analysis Board, on the top left) with established opening classification system like ECCO.
Add a search box to the events list and the players list to make it easier to find a specific event or player.
Allow embedding videos and other media (for example YouTube broadcasts) on event pages.
Allow users to create their articles or their own little blog on elephantchess.io.
Add the possibility to create and host tournaments.
Old school forums. Probably would have to be organized by languages.
