    You don't have to anyway. Yahoo! Chess is one of the worst chess sites imaginable. There are many alternatives like instantchess.com or best of all freechess.org.

    Current standings:

    GreenPawn - 2310
    Fat Lady - 2150
    Korch - 2145

    GreenPawn has had a lot of luck, I'm sure he won't remain at #1 for long.
    I didn't even know we had a rated blitz, yet. A lot of people probably aren't there because they didn't see it under site announcements. Unless I missed it that one, I mean.

    That's because it doesn't exist. It is a funny joke though.

    The rated blitz seems to have been done away with again. There were clearly a few bugs so maybe it will return when these have been sorted out.

    U missed the fun, where were you hiding. I dug up some interesting info by typing Jason+Fat Lady on redhotpawn.com Its a good thing you started the dig-up game. What was dug up looked very bad for you Fat Lady.

    I hope they bring it back. It was good fun.
    My Pm box filled to overflow with people telling me what a great site it was.

    The final score was

    Green Pawn 329 Wins
    Fat LAdy 330 wins

    now if you join those two figures together in a user id.....

    User 329330
