Originally posted by mochironI play on RHP, gameknot.com, as well as chessworld.net, uchess.com, and chessmaniac.com. I can tell you right now that RHP is the best of all those sites. I would rank Gameknot in second place. Chessworld.net is a piece of crap, and I plan on pulling out of that site as soon as I finish what I started. Chessmaniac.com is fairly good, and it lets you play an unlimited number of games, but it's missing several features that this site has. Uchess is a blitz site, so only go there if you want a quick fix, but it's still fairly good. RHP is the only site I've subscribed to, and it will remain that way for eternity, or until I find a really, really good site. If you're looking for a site to subscribe to, I recommend this one. I've never heard of Scheming Mind. Is it good?
how are Game Knot and Scheming Mind? I play on Scheming Mind, but Have never tried gameknot. I am looking to Subscribe somewhere.
Chess Websites Talk Amongst yourselves! which should I subscribe to.

I have a hard enough time with getting a handle on the traditional game , and am more of a purist , so I didn't accept his offers to join with him . At any rate , last I talked to him a few months ago , the site was in it's infancy but he was very excited about .

I think gameknot stunk , but there's nothing I can point a finger at . It just didn't feel as good as here . I wouldn't call CW crap , but rhp has it beat hands down .
