Hi everybody
I am very new to this site and on registering I was invited to two chess games. I was very excited at the time but none of the people actually have mad a move in days!!!! In fact a couple of the games haven't actually even begun. It's very frustrating to sit there day after day hoping one of these guys will start the game off!!
Anyone who actually wants to play (really play) please invite me to a game. I am able to make multiple moves a day
Thanks
Hello yapota!
Well in those games you can just delete the game and it's not a win or a loss for you. It's just a deletion. In the game with "saroosh" though 5 moves have been made (5 total = 3 for you and 2 for your opponent) so if anyone makes another move you can't delete it. That means you have to wait until your opponent's time runs out and then you can claim a win by clicking a little skull icon that pops up in your "My Games" list.
Ok, so that's all probably confusing. It sort of confused me. :-) Anyway you're doing the right thing by coming to the forums. Just browsing them, and the site FAQ, will answer a lot of your questions. Plus I'm sure there are lots of people here that would love a game with you. And they can probably give you better "site" instruction than I can. :-)
Good luck!

If you want fast movers,look for games with 1 or 3 day timeout.
Another good idea is to go to the player tables and click 'MAP of the month'.Any player in the top 20,maybe evn top 40,will move fast,probably more than once a day and,I would assume,they're all happy with every game they can get.
You can also go to Uchess for live games.It's developed by the same people as this site.Still in it's early days though,there may not be many people around.
Keep in mind this is a correspondence chess site.The pace here is slow,it's the nature of the game.
Sir Lot.
