Does everybody here use Red Hot Pawn as their entry into our little world, or are there any people who only use Red Hot Chess, Time For Chess or Chess At Work, and never, ever use RHP?
I always use RHP at home, but I use Chess at Work at work, not because it gets round any anti-game blocks, but because it doesn't stand out as much.

I use TimeForChess. I can see again now, although I can no longer view dark pages with white writing since I started playing on here.

I use CAW for live site work, and RHP for development. I force myself to do this so I don't accidentally do anything really stupid thinking I was on my development machine...

I'm a TFC bod everywhere like Ragnorak, it is the only one my eyes can cope with these days. I started out on RHP though.

I'm an RHP man myself, I didn't even know about the other sites until I was here long enough to just keep on doing he same thing.

i've been rhp sincei started, but i've recently moved to CaW when i'm in labs as i'm not overly sure playing chess is the best thing for my image...but then again, i'm in a lab full of maths freaks...so, yeah...

Bad rhp! I am so used to playing here that when I played in Yahoo recently, I moved the piece and that was my move! I am used to moving them safely on rhp until I click 'move'
*** I still make rotten moves on rhp!!!!!!!

I don't know why I never thought of it before, but CAW is much better than RHP for running on Windows Mobile over GPRS or G3 wireless Internet.
The smaller amount of graphical content means less to download, which means less money!
Only problem now is that the newest version of the Opera web browser for Smartphone won't shrink the board quite enough, and Internet Explorer won't shrink it at all.
Thunderhawk is a much better browser, but you have to pay for it.

I use TFC. Which sounds like an x-rated version of tender loving care. I think it's slower than RHP for some reason, but all that white and red is hideous, TFC is much nicer to look at.

CAW doesn't do it for me. Why not a real work version, where you can make the board very small, no logo saying CHESS AT WORK in big letters, a boss button, etc. I end up looking at the little 'info' boards on My Games so that there isn't obviously a big fat chess board all over my screen...
