You seem to overly promote RHP when you've made a few risqué posts and are perhaps a little fearful the mods might have marked your card.

Those are my thoughts.

I disagree with the thread title. What RHP does have is personalities, active forums and social friendliness.

RHP is a good site, but which is best is a matter of personal choice. IMHO Tempo and ICCF (where I play now) are at least as good, since they focus more on the game and less on forum socializing.

I claim so to gain brownie points with Russ.

Okay: to be earnest: I like the site (as you can see that I am a subscriber for many years) very much.
I don't know it the site is "best", it is so good that I don't look for other sites (and I have some more sccounts, when I have invited by the one or other person for a game).

I don't think RHP is the best chess site on the Net, but it certainly has its strengths and is a decent place to play chess. Improvements would include a greater focus on developing playing ability and an overhaul of teams/clans and tournaments.

It's the only one I know because, broadly speaking, playing chess makes me uncomfortable.

Not a slur on your rating, as chess is fun at every level, but I do think you are (have been) missing an opportunity to develop your game.

I have no interest in doing so. I just make chess moves so I can chat in private.
