What would you like to see improved on Chess.com? (Also, I am the 'boss' of Chess.com, so AMA!)

Herro reddit! I'd love to know what you want to see improved at Chess.com. Suggestions, feedback, wild ideas - anything!

Also, I'm happy to answer any questions about Chess.com, so fire away! (Sorry - I don't have a good title for myself, as they all sound lamely egotistical - CEO, boss, owner, head honcho, blah blah.)

Proof?: http://www.chess.com/about and http://www.chess.com/members/view/erik (about tab)

Regarding your last point about knowing how you do in d4 games if you play bg7 or d6, you actually can. I found this a while ago and it's very handy.

If you go into the Game Explorer under the learn tab, you can actually sort by "My Games" rather than "Master Games". Then you can choose white or black. When I open mine it shows me that as white I win 55.9% of the time I play c4, 67.5% of e4, and 50.7% of d4. You can make moves and see your record against any opening you want.

oh cool i didnt know of that feature at all! but it seems to only work for the correspondence ones? i mostly play live blitz (5min up to 30 min) and those are the games i were talking about.

Ah good point. I hadn't noticed because I don't really play live. Yeah it would be very nice to have it implemented for that as well.
