Game comments on Chess.com

Chess.com allows members to comment on games, much like other user-generated content such as blogs, articles, and forum posts. However, to prevent interference with ongoing games, our system protects the players until the game ends:

Game status	Details
Comments on a game in progress	For non-players: You can view and leave comments on an ongoing game. For players: You won’t see any comments while the game is still in progress, and you also can’t comment yourself. The same applies if you’re not logged in (i.e., viewing the game anonymously).
Comments on a completed game	All members can both comment and view the comments of others. If a member is on either player's block list, they cannot leave comments.

New basic accounts start with limited features. Play games and post comments without images or links and these options will unlock over time!
