Online Chess

KrustyTheKray · Sep 28, 2006

I hope this is not too trainspotterish, but has anyone got any good suggestions of any websites that offer online chess?

These days Chess is played by gorgeous looking Russian females who could resemble a bad girl in a James Bond film.

It's a game of skill and intelligence!

Maybe if anyone else is interested, we could have an online SZ chess tournament/league, shall i get me coat now??

I used to play quite a lot online, and still do occasionally. I can highly recommend playchess.com for real-time chess or gameknot.com for correspondence games. The latter is a great site for killing time at work by just dipping in and out of games - not that I'd ever do of course. Playchess is based in Europe and, in my experience, tends to attract a lower proportion of obnoxious americans than the more popular Interent Chess Club.

Excellent, cheers mate.

Might have to challenge you to a game or three

Does anyone know where I can play the version of chess that Chewbacca and R2D2 were plaing in Star Wars?
