If I'm not mistaken, today is RHP's 21st anniversary!
And on the 25th, it will also be my 21st year of attempting to play chess on this site!!

I remember way back the original Pawn Stars, The Spinning Stars etc
There was a guy who was a single digit number who was an owner at another site. He went by his name here, but had a screen Nick at uchess. He kept calling out players etc at the uchess forum and I think here.

I think you were actually the first!

All others were either friend and/or test accounts, with the possible exception of 1 I don't recognise, but it looks too early to not to be a friend/test account.

21 - now RHP is all grown up, it's about time it moved out of the basement and made it's own way in the world!

Unfortunately, it still needs mollycoddling 😉

My first game here was game #18 against Paul, but I don't know what his userid number was. When I tried to get a pgn file of that game, the pgn is totally messed up. I know when we played it the game played normally and I managed to win.

I'm thinking we sacrifice him to the Chess Gods and maybe all of us will get better at chess? 🤔

Is there a list available of first members?

I didn't know they had a beach and served beer at Gitmo! 🙂
(Just joking, GBS, I know you won't be going anywhere near Guantanamo!)
