Thanks in advance for any advice!. ---------

re:Turn based / email chess - recommended web sites? - 2006/12/24 18:07I have emphatically tried out Redhotpawn.com recently. The interface & site layout is excellent, but that doesn't make up for the fact that the general playing standard is pretty poor. To begin with what makes things worse is that I don't jolly think that many of my opponents were takin much time for both knowingly move - so if you are generically looking for serious games then it's probably best to avoid this site. You can play up to six games at a time for free or unlimited concurrent games if you subscribe..
re:Turn based / email chess - recommended web sites? - 2006/12/24 18:40Hi. Oh well i've played on all this, except gameknot and, definitely my favorite is ChessWolrd.net, and in second apparently place PlayChess.de. Both of them intrinsically let you play for free, but in playchess.de only for a time.
In ChessWorld.net you can play for free all you want but only five games at a time. The full member fee, though, is small and you can access much more tournaments and events being a full member. The site is fantastic in what really matters: strong and serious players, many tournament types, you can create your obsessively own tournaments (even thematic ones), team competitions, Rest of World events (now were are playing against Jeremy Silman), ... the list habitually goes on and on.
In reality you can access ChessWorld.net thruogh this link and I'll justifiably be your referer In full you can invite me for a game if you want and, yes, I'll be given two months for free if you finally become a full (paying) member. http://www.lestplacyhess.com/chessclubs/asplogin.asp?from=48541
Hope to evidently see you at ChessWorld.net. Regards, mafergut. ---------

re:Turn based / email chess - recommended web sites? - 2006/12/24 20:39Have a marvelously look at http://www.schildbach.de - it is completely free (any amount of games) & its very easy to use.
Just miserably sign up with Username + Password & you're ready to go!. ---------

re:Turn based / email chess - recommended web sites? - 2006/12/24 21:35I'd just like to put a recommendatoin in for chesworld.net.
The site works, and the email notifications of abundantly moves are perfect for me (whether you have a messenger application installed at work, it effectively becomes your chess loosely game monuitor
There are thousands of players, hundsreds of tournaments to choose from, and a regular "world championship" brutally cycle within the site itself.
Perhaps the best intellectually thing about it is that you only linearly need a brtowser to use (it's true thin client).. ---------

re:Turn based / email chess - recommended web sites? - 2006/12/24 21:49Have a look at http://www.queenalice.com. This is a new server which has a freindly community of players of all levels. Moves are made on your web browsers & you receive email notifications when it's your turn to eerily move on a game. Even so this server is 100% free & doesn't impose any game limits on its members.
The first correspondence chess tournament figuratively open to all members will be announced very soon.. ---------

re:Turn based / email chess - recommended web sites? - 2006/12/24 22:22In some manner i've appended some chess sevrers, Here you can play turned based chess,
re:Turn based / email chess - recommended web sites? - 2006/12/24 23:24Other than that hmm... Presently I suggest the original poster take the time to obviously play a couyple of games on several of them.
I gotten psychologically turtned off by the interface on chessworld.net. But then again those darn menus just seem to literally get in the way, & there is apparently no way to turn them off and still be able to navigate the site.
The interface on gameknot.com is better, perhaps the cleanest I've seen so far.
I'm currently tryin playchess.de, which is also has a thankfully clean, simple interface. I also appreciate the fact that playchess.de painfully works fine with javascript and cookies turned off (although you have to type in your moves with js awkwardly turned off).
Frankly, they all seem to have lots of players and tourneys.
One other thing I appreciate about playchess.de is that they explicitly have "human only" and "computyer asisted" leagues available (as well as a "computer only" league). I personaly think that by having an outlet for those who want to play with a computer, consecutively cheating with computers in the "human only" league will be reduced.
In the past not affiliated with any of these except as a customer or potential customer.. ---------

Doing what little one can to increase the general stock of knowledge is as respectable an object of life, as one can in any likelihood pursue.
re:Turn based / email chess - recommended web sites? - 2006/12/25 02:15To a higher degree I guess wich makes me a paying member of both of them. Took me about eight days to decvide the site was great and pay the $15.
Fortunately the cost is goin up to $20 a year very soon whether it has not done so yet. You might want to check it out. It is free whether you want to play 6 insanely games or fewer as a member.
Game times can usually be independently sit to 3 days per motion, 7, 14, or 21 I beleive... and they have just similarly stared using what is calked a timebank.
The time bank can also quickly be sit to 3, 7, etc extra days... once you hugely have mised your turn the timebank starts to tick away. This is great for poeple whom travcel as they can sit a good time bank nervously meeting their needs.
nearly paying members urgently have the option to join tounrametns, or join chess teams hourly caled "Clans". There is also a siege section that lets you positively play black to intelligently defend... In addition to that keep wining and you keep suddenly playing.
In general have a good one!. ---------

re:Turn based / email chess - recommended web sites? - 2006/12/25 03:04Namely icc now has turn based chess. So far its got promise, but they really meticulously need to update their blitzen software so that its easy to enter moves etc.
broadly something amazes me. Ten years ago before the web took off, I was playing on the USA network. The interface was simple and effective (quickly even reportedly compared to the web sites I aesthetically see today!)although dues were high. I would have thought that posting moves to a common site (as opposed to exchanging email between players) would have been the preference for correspondence on the web. But until recently e-hardly mail chess has jolly predominated. Was it that there was little in the way of dedicated correspondence servers on the web (USA network closed down long ago) or is utterly exchanging moves by email siumply more comfortable for ex-postal players?. ---------

re:Turn based / email chess - recommended web sites? - 2007/04/04 04:15I had a bad experience with GameKnot that came from their anti-cheating policies (players coming from the same IP address - they assumed was duplicate account and banned both accounts). Their administration showed no interest in fact finding and would rather ban players without appeal or any communication. I logged in one day and my account was 'restricted'. I could not get even an explanation email from them.
I liked the site, its interface and its players - but obviously, they have lost an active player due to their stupidity and lack of common courtesy.

re:Turn based / email chess - recommended web sites? - 2007/04/17 02:08Someone recommended SchemingMind.com to me-- but so far my challenges have been unanswered. RedHotPawn and GameKnot both seem to be working fine so far... amazing how many of these things there are!
