I like the new interface - same color scheme but the buttons are reduced in size and the clocks are above the board. And you can see ratings. Thanks Russ! 🙂

Wow, this is great. I'm already over 1700!!! I think it must be a subscriber only feature, because there are only subs on the player table.

Have you or anyone else tried the set piece feature yet? Will you try it with me? I couldn't find it anywhere if games are still rated if one gives odds. Come on GP I'll give you N odds. Just one though, and I play white!

Yes, I just tried the set piece setting, and it is still rated. However, if you put out an obviously won position, no one accepts it. I have already tried out a few of my favorite openings.

I am posting this from timeforchess.com (Does "GREEN"Pawn have any say in the color?! 😉 )

The colors of the site (when compared to red) are soother... I liked the colors in playtheimmortalgame.com (blue/black) as well...

I think It's a sub only feature.

But the OP is a non-sub. This may be all a joke, but it's a nice dream. If we do have a rated blitz, then I won't have to go to Yahoo anymore.

Found it at last. Hell this is great! Worth the subscription just for the blitz - the best anywhere.

I'm really pleased I have almost 12 months left on my subscription as features like this are bound to justify increased charges.

Heres a link http://www.redhotpawn.com/blitz/rated/beta. You might need a password.
