chess sites

Just curious why you left out internet chess club?

Fair question, and unfortunately I don't have a very satisfactory answer: I never really tried it. It is a pay-for-use service, and I generally try to stick with free venues. It could very well be the best... is it worth the money?

Ravello offered you solid advice and recommended an excellent site to you. You were a jerk. Nuff said.

For a serious Chess Player, its the Meca of all sites. I've had my ups and downs with it, but for all its bells and whistles, its worth the $$.
You can play for free as a guest, or get a student discount.
I like to get a game when i want too, so for that reason alone its good.
Try a free 1 week membership, and if they ask who sent you, tell 'em grandmouster...😉

Well,when someone I gave good advice start sending me messages like "Leave me alone you moron and stay out of my thread" I can't answer "Thanks,you can keep insulting me as long as you want".

Wake up.

See this is why I like this thread! I obviously know what RHP is, but what is chesstactics? Chess Tactics Server?

Thanks!

(As for leaving RHP off the list, I just discovered it fairly recently! Got my avatar just today! I'll need to update my list 🙂

They are referring to chesstactics.org
A law professor wrote a book and a tactics quiz as a hobby. All of it free on the above site. The book has some good info, but the quiz portion was especially good. Flip through postion diagrams and try to find the correct move- great for waiting on opponents. Unfortunately, the quiz portion was shut down recently for no known reason.


P.S. Trallphaz is an idiot.
