What changes would you like to see?
Apart from rated games.
- kibbitz games e.g watch the top rated players slugging it out.
- rated challenges
- a C client is better than a Macromedia Flash interface. I understand the source for ICC/FICS is available for free so something along those lines is better than an applet type thingy. It is too much like Yahoo now the way it is.

Translation:
I want something more for free, and now!
Some say ICC is good but it looks to me like Winboard with some bells and whistles.

I can see how having 30, 50 or even a hundred games going appeals to some folk but I haven't got that time on my hands.

I just clicked on the RHP blitz and it looks like there is no change from when it was introduced. Or does any of you see any changes?
So quit whinging and be thankful for what this site offers already.
P.s. If you want to see how long my arms are, check out rhpfaces.

why do people constantly try to make this site about live chess when it is clearly a correspondence site? the blitz chess thing was just a simple add-on to give a little something different. it's not, and never will be, what this site is about.
you think PlayChess is so cool? then go, knock yourself out. just don't try to make this site into it.
