    Hi, I have played a few times against players who suddenly were banned from the site. What is the reason of that? And how to avoid it?

    Usually it is either for having multiple accounts, harassing other people, or cheating.

    Look at http://www.redhotpawn.com/comhub/removedplayers.php for a list of the removed players and the reasons for it.

    Ok, now another question. One of the players whom I am playing against is banned and the site asks me to wait. Wait for what? And for how long? The time to move for him/her has finished. So what happens now?

    The game will eventually be resigned without causing a rating change. It can take a while.

    I always play a personal friend that is much a much better player than I am. We play unrated all the time so I can learn. He is letting me checkmate him this game so I can learn a certain move. Is there anyway to make SURE that the game is unrated so I don't kill his score?

    In your 'my games' list, click on the 'info' link next to the relevant game and it tells you if it is rated or not.

    How and where do I find blitz games ?

    This is essentially a correspondence chess site. You will get people prepared to play blitz, though - if you're lucky. Often, games start at breakneck speed, but once you've got a better position than your opponent, their play tends to slow down a little!

    How do people go about getting themselves banned from the site, and is the ban for ever?

    The Best possible answer in this site is to make some open invites and make it clear you want a blitz game. Set the time limit to a 1 day timeout with no timebank. That way you would normally get some quick games

    Hi all. I was wondering if there is any way i can enter moves sometimes using my pocket pc. I travel a fair bit and don't always have access to a pc, but my ipaq & mobile are always to hand. Any advice please. I can get the rhp site on my pocket browser ok but the board doesn't show.
