Been there and done that. It's certainly different than RHP but more akin to speed chess. Yes, the conditions can be setup to reflect live match play.
Thanks for all the replies. It's interesting to see how this is perceived by RHP members. Looks like there will continue to be a dichotomy here between correspondence players (researchers) and live pl ...[text shortened]... bit chess research during the ensuing matches. Until then, it's a correspondence chess site.
it says when you join.. I think the site is new and still under development.. and for free what more do you want..
And who the hell are you to tell me to leave. If you was anybody you'd delete my account..
If you dont like the site dont join.. simple as that dont attack me.
The site was probably created by an ex rhp user after one of your henchmen told him to go design your own site if you dont like this one..

I'm telling you to leave because obviously you aren't happy here. So unhappy in fact you break the TOS by advertising another correspondance site on the forums. Accounts don't get deleted here anyway.
you must be the brains on the boards
If I wasn't happy here.. what the hell am I doing here.. is rhp addictive.. is it the delightful users who post in the forums I dunno whatever it is IM HERE TO STAY!

MuAHHAhHA
the only way to see that is to join you just admitted you joinned.

I'm relatively new here and was surprised that ALL games on this site are considered to be correspondence chess - thus allowing the use of chess books to determine moves - even during clan and tournament games.
It seems to me that internet chess is very different than correspondence chess. It has just as many, if not more similarities to live chess.
...[text shortened]... that way our better chess players would also be recognized - not just the best game researchers.
Originally posted by mtn2topYou're talking about different games with different rules.
We can only speculate as to who the best "live" chess players are here until a suitable tournament format is setup to prohibit chess research during the ensuing matches. Until then, it's a correspondence chess site.
It'd be like saying that we'll never find out who the best high jumper is amongst the pole vaulters until we set up a "proper" tournament with no pole.
