How do I report a bug or make a suggestion?
Updated yesterday

If you notice some issue with the site, or a feature is not working, or even if you notice a typo, please let us know with a bug report or a suggestion!

For bug reports or suggestions, the best and quickest way is to use the Report a Bug or Make a Suggestion tool found in the ‘Help’ section of the site. These tools will ensure the correct team sees your bug or suggestion, in the fastest time possible!

If you are reporting a mobile bug: You can follow the same instructions below to submit your report. Describe your mobile issue in the text box. Be sure to include your OS and app version number!

Submitting a Bug or Suggestion

To report a bug or make a suggestion, click the 'help' icon in the lower left of any page on Chess.com. This will open the contact widget for support. Click 'Contact support', then, from the list of options, choose 'I found a bug or technical issue':

You'll then be provided with the option to use the 'Report a bug'! feature! You can also use this same tool to make a suggestion.

When you click on ‘report a bug’ You'll see a new text box appear on your screen:

That's where you can type your bug or suggest in, and click send, it's that simple!

Reporting Mobile Bugs

NOTE: You can also report mobile bugs using the same report form. Please be sure to add your OS and your app version number in the text box, and describe the bug clearly.

Highlight, Annotate and Make Notes

If you want to be more detailed, you’ll have also some options on the screen which you can use to highlight areas or leave additional notes:

Draw rectangles, leave a text comment, do free form drawing, or draw arrows. You can also use the eye icon to black out or hide certain parts of the screen.

Screen Recording

If the bug or suggestion requires you to take multiple steps, you can also use the screen record function! This will open the screen recording tool:

Click on the red REC button to start recording. Your browser will open a window where you can select the screen to record, and then click 'share':

Once you've allowed, the recording will start. Do the actions on screen that you want to record. When you are ready, click the stop button to stop the recording.

Your recording will automatically be attached:

Submitting Your Report

Add your email address in case the dev team needs to contact you for more info. Most bug and suggestion reports are not responded to. However, if more info is needed, the team may reach out to you.

Once you have everything on the screen notated to your satisfaction, or have recorded your video, write a description of the issue in the ‘your suggestion or bug report’ text box, and then click ‘send.’

This will send the page, along with all your notes and highlights, directly to the Chess.com developers for review!
