Hello to all! Anyone play timed chess on this site. If so mabey we could play a few on there. Thanks Kevin

I don't know which site that is and I wouldn't be bothered. Why not play on the established sites? If Playchess or ICC are the popular ones for fast/slow games then I would go with those. If RHP or gamenot are good for CC then I would go with those. That way at your rating-band you have hundreds of opponents to do battle with.

I just have a few good friends on there and was wanting to maybe meet a few players from here on there. edit Also it is a free web site.

What is your nick there?

I play there sometimes, even thought I have a Playchess account. My screen name is Falco44Fox72 and I really only play in the room "A Clockwork Orange."

Pogo, fly or die, yahoo, and others of their ilk are not true chess servers. There are many reasons you'll rarely find serious chess players there:

Java applets make poor chess interfaces and the likes of Yahoo will never attract strong players cause of this.

My wife and mother both have subscriptions at pogo.

Its a fun site thats been around for quite a long time.

The one fun aspect of playing chess there once in awhile is that you can actually win money.

how can you win money playing on pogo?

If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, even if you are making outrageous boasts ... ahem. Did I let that slip?
