How can I see the captured pieces and material count?

Learn how to identify which player has a material advantage in any Chess.com game and see the pieces they've captured!

Updated over a week ago

Under each player's username, you can view the pieces they've captured. If there's a material imbalance, the player with more material remaining will have a '+ number' next to their pieces. Only the player with the material advantage will have this number, while the other player won't show a number.

In the game below, NM Sam Copeland is playing as White. The black pieces under his username represent the pieces that he has captured.
