We still have plenty of places open...and now that the Covid-19 Pandemic is keeping many people away from their normal Entertainment Venues...I thought I would just point out that it is Completely Safe to play Chess...On-line...in the comfort of your own home. No mask required...and now that you all are all stocked up on toilet paper and beans and bullets and alcohol...think about giving it a go! Just another Shameless Appeal to drum up some business!

Don't know if we are still waiting or not @joc We need more than 5 or 6 participants to have a tournament. If and when we have enough people wanting to play I will be happy to set it all up. Right now the interest seems to be else where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bed of chaos Posted May 27, 2020 #634 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) I just registered, same screen name. Two questions. 1) is there an icon for castling? 2) can you watch other members play? Edited May 27, 2020 by Bed of chaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously doubt that anyone is going to be ready for a tournament during the summer...but the fall always arrives...and we will see what it brings! Maybe in the meantime you could study up so your ego won't get so bruised! Besides all that...it's fun...and...you are a smart guy...probably whip alot of butts along the way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is an option to watch others play. Not sure how to get to it, but I believe there is one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diddyman68 Posted June 10, 2020 #647 Share Posted June 10, 2020 started playing on fly or die chess a few months ago ,but after a record of 1 win ....12 losses i kinda gave up. the time limit of 20 mins per game really hinders me,even so i would still say i'm below average. i'm registered on rhp as diddyman68 ,so if anyone is in need of an ego boosting win ,then give me a shout. cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
