Sorry, I could have made it clearer: my question is how do I play Blitz on this site? I am technically inept! What shows on my screen confuses me. I was hoping for the usual electronic board. Instead all I get is a tabulated format with no hint of where to go next.
The list on the right shows who is currently playing (they'll have little boards next to them) and who is waiting.
The user list shows a star for a subscriber and a little blobby man for a non-sub. If you hover over their names you'll see their CC rating (blitz is not yet rated). If they're provisionally rated there's a little square next to the icon.
If you don't see any players down the right hand side, then most likely you'll have a firewall problem (you'll need to make sure you have port 1935 open for outbound TCP).
