Great, really funny. I just leave it on for games that last longer than 3 minutes. I really appreciate the art behind this kind of plugin so congrats to the Pavel, the Developer, Daniel Rensch for his comments and the chess.com Team

From now on it doesn't work properly as the pieces are not announced : if your Knight goes to f3, it will announce only "f3", and it's a big issue because you don't know if the pawn moved to f3 or another piece... I also found a mistake when my opponent's King went to g7, it announced "Rook g7". When you wanna play without the screen, it's highly problematic. Please consider fixing this dear chess.com crew :) Thanks !

i tried it for the first time this afternoon, after installing the extension and activating, it didnt work during my first game. after restarting my browser and enabling again it did work. however the announcements were confusing, it was announcing pawn moves correctly so when i played e4 it would announce e4, but when either me or my opponent played any other move that wasnt a pawn, so for example a knight, it would only announce the destination square, ie i play Nf3 and it would only announce f3 this needs fixing because i often play with a DGT board connected and if i'm not watching the screen, and i hear it announce f3 thats gonna potentially cause me to move the wrong piece. please look into this. thanks !
