Small Correction

I started my first game and had this message after my first move: "Please remember, this is a correspondence chess site, and it may take sometime for you opponent to move. " "Sometime" is used ackwardly here.

This should be "Please remember, this is a correspondence chess site, and it may take some time for you opponent to move." or perhaps a total rephrasing to make the message more concise.

Good job you spotted that otherwise thousands of other new players would have been confused.

"Please remember, this is a correspondence chess site, and it may take hell to freeze over for some of your opponents to finally move"

Ackward, meaning backward or awkward, appears in archaic dialects, but is not commonly used in modern English, except in the context of bass fishing.
