Please excuse me if been asked before; been away for many years and just getting used to a totally unfamiliar site.

I notice next to some open invites there is a green box specifying play as black or play as white. How do you get that box to appear please?

I must confess I don't know, since I never play open invites. If you'd like to avoid this issue just enter a tournament. You'll play an equal number of games with white and black, avoiding the green box issue.

Wales, eh? you come from a very beautiful place! 🙂

Thanks

Not entering any tournaments right now; I have no idea how they work; still trying to find my way around.

Until last week my last game would be 15 years ago - hence the rating due to 180 time outs.

Hi and wellcome back.
If you create a game you can choose to play either side or levae it open and the system will decide. The green box in the "open invites" is created automatically, and only appers to people eligible to play (so you never see it on your games)
