If I play blitz chess I want a win or a loss to affect my rating. Right now you can start to play and if your opponant makes a bone-head move he can just quit and play another game. When people lose there rating should be affected there for giving credibility to the blitz game being played.
They have only been available for a few days.
Right now they are not rated.
Just play some games and see if everything is working.

rhp tried chat late 2001 i supported it at the time but it ended in a nightmare for rhp. i thought at the time it was a good way to get to know your fellow players{well that was the idea) but it ended in groups ganging up on fellow players ect. chat mods???? leaves a lot to be desired.
Another site that had live chat let us have our own exclusive chat room on their server, RHP added a direct link to that room, which was moderated by their people.
RHP members could not follow their rules, so they closed the chat room.
I don't think we even lasted a month.
