πŸ‘ Well done. I’ll be on a beach in Cuba on the 25th and will raise a cerveza in your honour.🍺
Wish you all a great vacation, I know you have been looking forward to this trip for some time.

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.
Happy anniversary to you and RHP!

I just had a look at that game. Too bad the record got messed up, but the result is amusing. You don't see games like that very often!

1.KxBf1 etc.

Is there a list available of first members?
If you look at the earliest part of mwmiller's games list that would at least show some of the earliest usernames if not the order of joining.

I can't...

I've tried to remember but it's been too long.

Yes, I was using an antique search engine, such as webcrawler or something similar, searching for an online chess site, and RHP came up, so I started an account.

Or just take a look around this page from the past. Some of the links still open forum pages, etc. And you can click on that timeline across the top to go to different years. It's a little temperamental in places but still shows some of the good old past of RHP.

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!!
Hearty congratulations to you, my man. 😍

Looks like you do 20 years come 2023. I won't till 2025 I think.

16th, but some of the other earlier ones were dummy players too, created to test the site. πŸ™‚
Umm, Chess Test Dummies ? I hear a hit single in the making.

Would I get in much trouble if I said, some never left? πŸ™‚
