IIRC, it's not automaticly a draw. The player with an advantage has to ask for it to be ruled a draw, at which point the TD may make it a draw, add some time to the clock(s), or make them play as is. If the game continues on the act of requesting a draw from the TD is interpreted to be an extended d...

The rules also said I may add time for long games. The USCF also has a similar rule which allows a player to claim a draw (or have time added) if his opponent has little or no chance of producing checkmate. Which is in line with the idea that the clock's priamary goal is to keep the game moving.

Me vs. a 7 year old.
I just started playing OTB chess last week at a local deli. The time control was 30min/game. I was really impressed by this guy, he's only seven years old, and has only been playing for a year. He played two other games which he won, and he gets extra points for winning the last one because it was p...

Castling bug fixed.
You may have received an error "SAN Syntax Error" when trying to castle, the problem has been fixed now. But you may need to hold down SHIFT and press your browser's RELOAD (or REFRESH) button while viewing a game in order to get the update.

You can download the entire archive of all completed games as of 11/29/2003. The file is 30Mb compressed, and over 120Mb uncompressed, so you'll probably want to make sure you really want it before clicking the URL.

The archive is stored in a table just like the active games are, but regurgitated in PGN format (the end date/time and ratings are in the table but not the ouput, but that can be changed).

2003 Feature request thread.
It's getting close to the end of the year, and that means I have to take all of my vacation time I never used. So, if you've got a feature you've been wanting, post it here. Because it's either program, or (gasp) go visit the family.

Yes, please do. I plan to have several different boards to choose from, as well as a "design your own" so you can choose from any solid colors you your browser is capable of displaying.

I think the primary problem is that the "black" in the pieces is really just a dark grey, and they're anti-aliased so they get lighter near the edges. I need to redesign them so they're darker and have harder edges. BTW: I've changed the board image since I originally posted it here's the old and th...
