Non subscribers come and go... sometimes they cause a lot of grief to the paying members because they break the rules and stuff. Not saying that you would do anything like that, but I have learned from experience NOT to play non subscribers. 😠
I come and stay this website is like a home away form home i am always here! 😀

We have elected people to monitor those suspected of using computers. I would say very few do.

Join the family, welcome.
so how do you monitor people playing with computers..... do you ask them if they are playing with computers or are they clever at chess..... just curious about the method you use.

There is a cheat police. Obviously non-subscribers can just start a new account if they get caught.

I feel that non subsribers get a hard time in the forums, most subscribers do not have any animosity towards nonsubscribers.

Welcome geckos and coconut, the rhp community is generally a friendly bunch and even though subscription may not improve your chess it will improve your enjoyment of the site immensely.

i felt i wasn't improving for months.
playing here got me back into chess and i bought some books and played a lot but felt i was getting nowhere.
recently it has started to sink in though... i think just playing a lot of games helps you to start recognising patterns and so on that you've read about. and some of the good players here have been very helpful with advice etc.
plus i save money because i'm at home hunched over a computer all evening instead of out partying with my friends. 🙄
