Its just a different name and different theme for the same site. RHP can be very harsh on your eyes due to the lots of stark white. TFC is much easier on the eyes. Chessatwork is black and white and looks a little less like a chess website (apart from the chess board) Redhotchess is for people who either can't access the redhotpawn site due to firewall restrictions or who may find the pawn part offensive in some way.

Also, looking at rhp isn't really like reading a newspaper. Looking at white on screen is actually looking at white light. Would you stare at your kitchen light for long?

Originally posted by buffalobillI find TFC much easier on the eyes than RHP. If I'd use RHP, I would probably have to reduce the monitor's brightness and contrast. As Ragnorak says, everybody is different. There are even people who get diagnosed as dyslexic because they have big trouble reading black text on a white background, but if they get coloured glasses, they can read just fine.

Originally posted by Sicilian SmaugI can no longer visit dark sites for any period of time. My vision actually starts to go with imprinted bright lines in my sight. I never had this problem before I spend a few months staring at RHP's white screen for a couple of hours a day. Now I have to squint when I follow a link to RHP.
I sometimes play blitz on ICC where the colours are all dark and gloomy( looks good though) and i find if I then switch back to the brightness of RHP my eyes go all funny and i feel a bit tripped out.. This explains my recent rating drop😵

If the Game Mods would tell us which games they analyzed and with what, we could. The games of Exy's I've analyzed with Fritz (my 12 with him + 1 other) show no sign of engine use.
I've had a terrible time losing my internet connection because my anti-spyware (the most advanced in the world) will drop the internet connection at RHP after I move in 5 games! 😠Russ denied such a program, but I have physical proof (screen captures) of MANY such intrusions by RHP.

RHP doesn't do that.
For one it wouldn't work on anyone who doesn't use a browser that's full of security holes. Nothing gets onto my computer without me knowing about it.
For another if they were doing it do you really think we'd have seen only a handful of bannings?
