Hello all. I am enjoying this new site I found, RHP, so much so that I have cancelled my subscription to another CC site I am a member of so that my wife won't give me a severe ear bashing when I take out a new subscription here!
I am still provisional and am looking for a 1600+ rated player to kindly challenge me to a game ( I only have 1 slot remaining ) as under the current RHP rules I cannot search using parameters and am going to end up somewhat underrated by the time I reach the required 20 games.
Hope you understand why I do this as I am not particularly ratings obsessed, well maybe a little 🙂, I just want to play at my level. Approx 1800 fide.
EDIT: I would like to play 1day per move with zero timetable. Thank you.

The best way to do this is to go to the 'Open Invites' tab.
Create an open invite, and you may then enter the parameters you here specify.
Therein lies the problem as I am getting much lower rated opponents accepting my seeks.
Originally posted by PJKeoghYou could give the game a name like "1600+ rating please". Or just accept whatever games you can get until you reach 20.

Originally posted by C J HorseI like that idea. If I clearly name the game 1600+ then I won't feel so bad if I have to abort a game to a lower rated player.

It's not like everybody else hasn't had to go through the 20 game provisional stage. Can someone pass me my dummy please!
Thanks CJ.
I suggest winning a few games against the 1200 players. Your rating will rise soon enough. Your K value is very high with few games so a win against even a low rated player will give you lots of rating points. If you really are 1800 strength, you'll crush them.
Edit: Oh, I see you already have a high rating.

Originally posted by byedidiaThank you bursitis. I took the advice of a previous poster and named my open invites "1600+ players please".

It works a charm and have picked up a game against a 1900+ in which I lost quickly(: and a 1800+ player.
Appreciate you taking the time to post.

Not sure of the rules here at RHP regarding other sites so I shall err on the safe side of caution and say it is the biggest CC site out there. A simple Google for online chess and it is at the top for results.
-
Now, I know this previous web site, and is very expensive, and RHP has more features like ladders, clubs and clans, and I guess again 'sieges'.
-
And the best of all ... the time controls with some extra days.
-
so enjoy the site, there are plenty of very good chess players here
