Good fun for everyone from casual players to grandmasters. :-)

Better fun if you like blitz formats though. (Lots of people show up because they want a game, but don't have time/space for a serious one.)

Cheers,
Ben

Re: Have you tried out fics yet?

Trying to download Winboard gave me a Zone Alarm alert. Downloading stuff shouldn't do that.

Anyway I got registered. I'll get around to the interface.

But I *do* prefer face-to-face tournament play, just to see the people. Ashley is more polite and more classy than ... geeze, I don't know who. I am happy for him that he's made GM and has qualified for the next U.S. championship. Even though he did clobber me in 30 moves.

Mozilla is still grunting and straining at downloading Winboard.

Could be fun to watch if the chairs aren't bolted down.
