What site interface do you like the most ?
RHP - it's simple, it doesn't cut the edge but its extremly clean and stable, intuitive, very good organization
Gameknot - ha ha ha ha ha !!! LOL
Chess.com - looks the most up to date but not organized nicely as RHP and you can have loading problems too often.
letsplaychess.com - now that is a good site, but whats up with prehistoric interface ?!?!
Maybe I am stupid but for me visual style makes the difference. It is much nicer to play on decent looking site than on a little board with UGLY pieces.
I play for 200 points weaker when I play on bad interface 😲

The difference between RHP and letsplaychess is like comparing google to one of the early search engines. When we first started our endgame project, www.personalchesstraining.com, we worked with several servers, including letsplaychess. All other servers were dropped because their code was antiquated.
itsyourturn was one of the first we used, but the site was never developed for chess. Instead, he selected other games.
letsplaychess spends much more time and resources marketing an inferior product while RHP spends more time on code that is stable, secure, all encompassing, pleasing to the eye, and easy to use. It is incredible that anything ever done on this site is recorded and not purged. Storing a large array of grandmaster games forever is an incredible feat, but storing amateur games? Beyond incredible.
From the point of view of a chess player, programmer, and project that interfaces with this site ... RHP scores a prefect 10.
