Answer 1

You can bad mouth Yahoo / Yahoo chess, or you can fix the problem - your choice. It is possible Yahoo has updated their chess software and/or implemented bug fixes, or the file on your computer has become corrupted.



Either way, first remove the old software. The chess program is not in your browser's cache, it's stored in a windows folder called "downloads," "program downloads" or something similar (unless you put it in another folder when you downloaded the original program.) If you have played Yahoo chess before, then you have the old chess program somewhere on your hard drive. Find the program and remove it. If it's listed in control panel, add/remove programs, use that feature; if not, then delete the program manually.



Next download and install the newest version. If you cannot run the new version, most likely you also need to update your version of Flash Player. Navigate to the Adobe download site and follow their instructions carefully. Frequently you will need to uninstall the old version before you can download and install the newest version. Use Windows control panel, add/remove programs, to uninstall Flash - do not attempt to do this manually (multiple hidden files.)

This problem has been going on for a while now. Yahoo does nothing about it. Since Microsoft bought them. they have been trying to destroy Yahoo. They change the yahoo font everyday in a ploy to destroy brand recognition. The yahoo mail is the slowest and worst out there. Now yahoo gaming is lame. Of course Yahoo know about the problem, how could they not know? They choose not to fix it.

Answer 3

All my browsers the same problem.

In Chess room goto options, bottom left, chose "Small Window", now table will open fast but is TINY & hard to see.....



It is not a flash or java problem..... it is Yahoo....

Answer 4

It's a bug in Yahoo. I'm experiencing the same problem. I've been playing chess on here for years and Yahoo has not made one improvement. I can't believe they're still in business. Their site sucks. Their stock is in the toilet. I do hope they go under...
