Racoon guy, I know exactly where you're coming from. I thought exactly the same. "So why" I hear your cry "are you posting too?". Because I was enjoying the fact that 1 post dissing this site resulted in 11 posts before me defending it. Makes me feel that we have something here, that people are so quick to defend it 😀
Originally posted by ThenoviceI have not played on gamecolony.com but I must agree with you that this is absolutely the worst chess site there is if for no other reason that there is a thread of 84 postings in the forums on the nature of random causality and the nature of free will and not a single picture of any naked chicks. 😉 Kirk, who really loves it.
I MUST SAY THIS IS THE WORST CHESS SITE ON THE PLANET.
THE RESPONSE TIME SUCKS. ONE CAN PLAY 2 GAMES AT ONCE, WHICH IS GREAT...BUT AN OPPONENT HAS 3 DAYS TO MAKE A MOVE.
THIS SITE COULD BE MUCH BETTER.
GO GAMECOLONY.COM...THE BEST SITE TO PLAY CHESS. ONLY YOUR LEVEL OF SKILLS CAN PREVENT YOU FROM HAVING FUN THERE.

Originally posted by bbarrDon't you mean "fortunately I met the right woman..." ? Have you seen the movie "Tadpole"? I think you would like it, Bennett. About a young college student working through his attraction to his step-mother. Brilliant kid and the older woman just swoon at his feet. Kirk

This thread is funny to me because I used to play at gamecolony.com and I would like to express the opposite opinion and say that it isn't as good as RHP. Although comparing real time compared to correspondence chess is a bit like comparing apples to oranges I have one main reason for prefering RHP
IT IMPROVES YOUR GAME FAR MORE!!!
With real time c ...[text shortened]... where my or the oppenents running king wins because of the time constraints, ITS JUST NOT CHESS!
If I am not moving, you know where to find me!
We need a blitz chess option here!

Originally posted by Thenovicebad show! i personally prefer rhp, it's got an option whereas you can string out one move over 3 weeks, which suits me fine. if you want to play chess faster, go to yahoo or someplace-and at least here the players are friendly!...
