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.

How many people have been sent the link to the rated blitz room by Russ? I've been on there all evening with GreenPawn, Korch and a few others, but I thought it would be a bit more popular. Perhaps it's still in beta. Any idea when it will become public, Russ?

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.

You're right, Freechess.org is a great site. I just joined.

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.....
