=====THIS IS A REPOST=====PLEASE REPLY TO NEWSGROUP======

A few questions I would like to ask readers, if I may:

A lot of sites out there offer chess by email with a graphical interface
(ie: redhotpawn.com, playchess.de, itsyourturn.com) Are there any sites
out
there offering this service free of charge without limitation to users?


If correspondence Chess with a graphical interface is what you mean,
chessclub.com has that feature for no additional fees.
(http://www.chessclub.com/help/correspondence)

And, the sites that offer premium benefits with paid membership, is it
manditory for someone to pay at some point so long as their account is
open
with the said site?

The next question is: is there any chess freeware out there that offers
the
following key features: 1: level difficulty adjustment, 2: ability to
play
with/without clocks, 3: player's
view from bottom to top (ie: if you are playing black, your pieces are at
the bottom of the screen?)

I await your answers
Phil




Not sure if you mean freeware Chess servers or just Chess engines. The most
active Chess servers can be found on the links column of
