What is the immortal game? (weww.playtheimmortalgame.com) Is it just a pointless mirror website? Who made it? Why?

It is very confusing...

The immortal game is chess.

weww.playtheimmortalgame.com is a chess website you just typed its forums. The God of RHP, mr. Russ, created this lovely option.

There's also www.redhotpawn.com, timeforchess.com and chessatwork.com. They're all the same thin'.

Why? Just for the heck of it. (also the colors)

Don't be so confused, there are more confusing things than this in life. Trust me.

I hope this helped. Good luck and welcome to our community,

It is another excellent chess website.

It's for those players whose womenfolk don't have a sense of humour and may get offended by the innuendo of RedHotPawn. This is a minority since most users seem to refer to RHP in their chats.

yes playtheimmortalgame.com is just another mirror site but not a pointless one. It was created for and connected to the release of David Shenk's book "The Immortal Game (A history of chess)":

And a good book it is, especially for any one looking for chess history. I seems also to have brought a lot of lapsed players back to the game
