Re: computer use in chess
Using computer analysis isn't allowed for games here at net-chess. I can't imagine any reason for allowing it. Sure, some people might cheat, but if you want to know you're playing a computer you can just play against your own. Greg, I think you are pretending ignorance when you state that this sit...

Re: Usage statistics
I don't think those numbers are bad. Sure there used to be a lot more games played, but we still had almost 40,000 games last year, that's no small feet. What amazes me is the steady number of new players (new pseudonyms?). Apparently, the site is still attractive and easily accessible. Please crea...

Re: THE FORUM
The Benoni is sound, no refutations possible there. I am interested in old openings like King's Gambit. I have played it a lot, and tend to give a verdict: If White plays King's Gambit, Black wins. Yes. Also Evans Gambit. I always thought White had to lose because of his dumb pawn sacrifice, but the...

Re: Kind of sad
I find the squabbling between a NewYorker and a Torontian rather funny.
My answer is simple: I donate €100 to sustain this site.

Me, a Centaur?
It is OK for herlockshome to express his understanding for an opinion that cannot be maintained on a site dedicated to correspondence chess. I dare to disagree with her recommendation. We analyze our chess positions on this site, that's the point of playing here. No Cent behind my name please.

Many posts question the strange ratings here. I think, Greg, you have 2 ways to improve: 1) accept that the ratings on this site are and will be relevant only to this site: divide all of them by 91 and no one will ever want to compare them with real elo ratings. 2) implement more regulations.
