But I like 'Red Hot Pawn', and the name was what brought me here to begin with. I sensed that there was something more here than just another vanilla website, which is the image 'Daily Chess' brings to me.

The name RHP has much history, and you may be stuck with at least grandfathering those graphics as an option for the foreseeable future. 🙂

Edit: I remember all of those graphics except the first one.
I agree. I like Red hot pawn.
RHP!

Daily chess sounds like something you have to do, like doing the dishes or listening to people.

I thought the West Bank was given back to Jordan, or why else would Israeli settlements there be such a big deal, East Jerusalem is where the Dome of the Rock is, and someone has it, or the Israelis never would have given permission for a mosque to be built on the actual site of the Temple on the Temple Mount. I also thought the Syrians got the Golan Heights back as well.
No, that's why they are referred to as the "occupied territories."

Don't know, but here is a tidbit:

"Facebook was originally launched as Facemash, an online platform for judging the attractiveness of Harvard students. Facemash was shut down after two days due to violating university policy, but the idea for a centralized website was planted."
