What's the difference between chess at work and red hot pawn?

Is it simply the colour scheme or am I missing something?😕

It's all the same site, but with different colors and graphics.

Thanks for the info - but it begs the question - Why?

Because which one of these will the network administrator at work look harder at:
RedHotPawn or ChessAtWork

Shouldn't they call it "WorkatWork"?

😉

What is the other name, isn't there a third name for this site?

TimeForChess is the third. The best one in my opinion.

It's just some options and choices offered to try and meet individual preferences.

I personally prefer the 'Time For Chess' format, because I find it easier to read the text.

There are currently four options:

RedHotPawn
RedHotChess
ChessAtWork
TimeForChess

If you log out, you will be taken to the log-in page, and you can see the link to each of them at the bottom of the page.

Maybe it would be better if these links were placed at the top of the log-in page, along with a very brief explanation that they all take you to the same site, but with different graphics....

i use rhp cause i've always used it...and when your talking about it and people overhear you...but they misshear you...😉

redhotchess is the same colour scheme, but it was implemented to stop those embarrasing moments...i think...

I ran across the other sites one day, but just stuck with rhp since it is what I have always used.

So is there not a chance that all those poeple who accepted the agreement on multiple user names can sign up to the other sites? I haven`t tried it but just wondered if it could be done. Not that i would want to by the way.

You sign once... when you log onto another site it won't ask again. I just tried it.

"Hi, I am Phlabibit at 'Red Hot Pawn', but when I am at 'Red Hot Chess' I log on as Bibit La Phla!"

So you can have at least one user name for each of the four sites?

No, it's still all just one site.

They're just different "skins", or graphics.

It's like going into your settings and changing the board view graphics. When you do that and go into one of your games, it's still exactly the same game but the pieces look different.
