Is my new signature legal?

[Rodolfo Leoni]

I'm just too enthusiast of this site by Ortwin Paetzold. I discovered again the pleasure of playing chess after a lot of years.

I'd keep this signature if I'm not breaking any rule. Server is free so it's not commercial advertising, but I'd ask to someone who's more expert than me if I should delete it.

Thanks.

I hope you already know Lichess?

Thanks Guenther, I didn't know it.
Seemingly, it's blitz... I like to think at what I do. And, of course, I'm enjoying Daniel's SF savehash with its PHs feature.

Oh, I thought with 'pleasure of playing chess' you meant playing yourself again too.

I't pleasure of playing with help of an engine, as everybody does.
It's how to manage the PH feature that makes it interesting the most.

Hi, Rodolfo.

I enjoy playing there very much as well, and I've seen your name pop up in new tournaments. It's very clean.

I also play on FICGS because the tournaments are divided by rating classes. The new tournaments on LSS are seemingly mostly filled with 700-1000 rated players who prefer not to use engines, and I'd rather let them have their fun while I face similarly-leveled competition. FICGS also has thematic tournaments and other games which LSS lacks. Nevertheless, I really prefer the look of the LSS website.

Thanks for your tip, Vladimir. I'll try FICGS too.

As first tournament I started an open. There were two 800 rated players, one 1600, one 2020 and me. Games went fast enough and I completed all games there. I started a class tournament too and I saw two ICCF IMs with low ELO subscribed. It looks the use of engines equalizes players level. I'll be curious to try the "no engine tournament", just to see some "humans".

I'm also playing a two games match against an "ICCF SIM". Very aggressive player, but a bit old-fashioned in the engines age. Funny games, anyway.

LSS site design is great. Intuitive, simple, many languages. It's one of the reasons I like it very much.
