I have been playing there off and on since it first opened. It is my favorite place to play.
I have visited the Chessmaster site at least 25 times this year and have been able to create only 1 or 2 games. It's a shame what has happened to the new Chessmaster. In my opinion it is a step backwards.

Hi, if this is a nice place to play some may decide by this little chat in the help channel:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inkkubus: Is it possible to see a rating list?
LoveIsLife: which rating
amirov: right click on the name and then profile
MicAn: top 100?
LoveIsLife: is on infinia web site
eligolf: on top 100 players
eligolf: list
eligolf: then u can choose any kind of game
eligolf: except from losers
MicAn: eligolf is there
Inkkubus: list blitz
MicAn: one of the top
eligolf: :)
MicAn: :)
Inkkubus: I got an illegal commandn
Inkkubus: list blitz doesnt work
LoveIsLife: Inkkubus logon to infinia web site
LoveIsLife: there is a menu
LoveIsLife: top 100 players
LoveIsLife: select the game type from combobox
Inkkubus: hmmm, not that convinient
LoveIsLife: then
Inkkubus: for 20 Years there is this bloody ICS protokoll and noone ever improved it
LoveIsLife: mind ur language here
LoveIsLife: u can get in trouble...
Inkkubus: ??? What was BAD with my language?
Inkkubus: Just facts?
Inkkubus: not a single bad word!
Inkkubus: ahh because of bloody?
Inkkubus: come on
hrishi (*AD): what happened
Inkkubus: good question
hrishi (*AD): yes such words are not good to use here
Inkkubus: bloody?
hrishi (*AD): make sure to keep this place clean and enjoy chess
hrishi (*AD): ty
Inkkubus: thats a joke isnt it
hrishi (*AD): means
Inkkubus: ok, if this place tries to be cleaner than a church I have doubts in it!
hrishi (*AD): Inkkubus its good not to use such words here
hrishi (*AD): and also swearing on others is not allowed
Inkkubus: what kind of moral is condeming bloody
Inkkubus: and maybe I sweard a bit on a protokoll
Inkkubus: personal insult is impossible
hrishi (*AD): stop it here and enjoy chess
Inkkubus: ???
Inkkubus: yes I stop it here
hrishi (*AD): good for you
hrishi (*AD): ty
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If someone get thretened because of the word "bloody" and that to a protocoll and not to a person is something I personaly find much too harsh! Even saying it too a person does not seem too bad to a non native speaker like me!

Bye

I lost an hour of my life checking those sites and I am very dissapointed by them....they offer nothing compared with playchess or ICC and I really mean NOTHING....

Just my opinion.... (of an 1981 FIDE rated player)

The problem with free chess clubs is they are magnets for Rif-Raf :twisted: .... I find the pay clubs are much better! :D

Hi Dan R.

Well, for guys like me who do not play very well, the free chess sites are lots of fun...and I can even win a game now and then.

I was not trying to compare them to the professional online chess clubs...etc.

:lol:

The encouragement to further develope the free sites, comes from people using them, constructive critisism and general positive feedback ;)

ICC is expensive, and it appears that Playchess has become that too, if you don't have a key from one of their programs.

Here I think the free chess-sites has a lot to gain from - now I'm not talking about places the yahoo-cheat-in-chess...

And this one, Infinia chess, looks like a good one - hope they'll continue to work on it :)
