I was playing there for a while, i like the site. Unfortunately my account disappeared which really pi55ed me off cos i'd got up to 1950 which is unheard of for me. Have you tried www.chess21.com? That's a great site as well 🙂

You mean that my account will be deleted if I don't purchase the damned serial number?
It's a shame............

Yes,usernames come with certain perks,guests can play for free,but without the perks.
It's a paysite,if you want all benefits,you have to pay.

Maybe I'll continue to play occasionally as a guest,I'll decide in the next days if buying the serial number,29€ is not exactly cheap for playing a game of chess once in awhile.........
But you have masters playing there,the training lessons.........
It's really tempting.

It would be good for improving my chess but I'm not interested in buying it as I guess I would use it a couple times and then I'll leave it there for months without using it.
I do so for a lot of things..............

Well,look around the net a bit.There are other sites,free sites,that have masters among their members.Like FICS,and I think chess21,which marina mentioned,is free too.
Or join something else that includes playchess membership.I,for instance,joined the 'schaakacademie'(chessacademy),and my membership there includes a playchess membership.Unfortunately,that's a dutch site,not of any use to you,but maybe there are others.....

But even as a guest,you'd still be able to play the masters 🙂

I already looked around and no site has the things that Playchess offers,even if they haven't forums.
I already play on Rhp,GK and on an italian chess site but Playchess is the best I've ever seen for blitz (bulletchess is way too quick for a patzer like me).
If I'll purchase the damned number I'll let you know so we can play some games as we have almost the same timezone.

In fact, username is not always deleted, at least my two usernames in playchess have been valid for almost two years. And I dont have any serial numbers. Just playing for free. I think lot of other people i have met there dont have any serial numbers.

Tonight I played a couple of blitz games (8m+2s) against Sirlosealot and he quickly kicked my butt twice,but it has been a lot of fun.
Anyone else plays there?
