I play on both The Immortal Game and Gameknott. Personally I find the rating is about the same ie: I'm crap at both sites :-) But then I play for fun. I will say one thing in defence of Gameknott, and that is people are very friendly and often chatter during games. Most people on here don't seem to want to talk to each other, that's fine and should be res ...[text shortened]... f back there if I like it so much... whereas all I'm trying to do is give a balanced view.

What's the difference apart from the colour?

Originally posted by bassoI think it's just a way to appeal to everyone. Some people like certain layouts and colors better and feel more comfortable playing on those sites. So this way they can choose the site they like the best and play on there, instead. It's 100% same except the layout and color, i think. You don't have to come up with a new name or register again. (Actually you had better not since that is against the rules and will get you banned) Just log on with your current name and password and you can play on those sites too. Click "my games" and your games on redhotpawn will be on those sites too. Also be sure to check out "chessatwork.com" and "playtheimmortalgame.com" if you thought "timeforchess" was neat. 🙂
What's up with timeforchess.com. It's a mirror image (or should I say green image) of this site. What gives?

I think it's a brilliant idea, actually. This way everyone can be happy. 🙂

p.s. good luck in finding a favorite! 🙂
Originally posted by bassoIf I logged on to redhotpawn.com from the office, the IT admins might come round asking if I was accessing inappropriate sites. The name could set off their porn site alarm. When they came to investigate they would see it was all fairly innocent, but they might also start asking if I should be playing chess in the office. So I use chessatwork.com and nobody bothers me.

Originally posted by Dr WeirdGK has better advertising (it comes up first on google). But, don't be deceived by its apparent popularity. At any given time, there are more pending open challenges at RHP.
what are you guys smoking? gameknot has 680,000 registered players, it is by far the number 1 online chess site
Also quantity is a poor measure of quality, unless you really think that McDonalds has the best food, and Walmart the best clothes, camping gear, garden supplies, CDs, etc.
