Everyone else should take the 3minutes to sign up for this service and
post your playing name online so we can get on with this. I think it
will be great fun!

I'm registered as "Mike Murray". There's somebody else already there
as "mikemurray", which might cause confusion.

Hmmm. It looks as one can *only* play email chess on this site. I
prefer instant gratification, such as on playchess.com (my favorite
time controls are 3-2 and 1-3, but 5-0 and 4-0 are also OK).

Yes,
It is email chess. But if you are online at the same time you can make
the move go quite quickly. Currently I have about 30 games going and I
spend about 30 sec per move on each. I think you will be supprised at
how much fun it can be this way.

Hey, Rob. I got your invitation, but when I declined, it didn't let
me enter any explanation. I'd be happy to play a game or two on
playchess -- just don't want to play a game that goes on for possibly
months (at five days per move).

I think you can get a free guest membership on playchess.com.

I usually play there as "Jerry Attrich". In fact, since all this
seems to be happening pretty much in real time, I'll sign on now and
await your challenge.

My computer doesn't do well when I have to download client/sever
interfaces onto it.
My screenname on gamecolony is robmtchl as well. I dont do as well
there though. :-)

There will be no way to determine if chess computers are being used or
not. I believe that most here act with honor and would not use one. If
there is a dispute we can settle it with pea shooters at two paces!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

Rob,

I already belong to letsplaychess.com and enjoy the website very much. How
do I join your tourney?

BTW, this is a great idea. Guys, this is not a traditional email or postal
tournament. You go to the website, where you make your moves. No emails, no
attachments, post cards, etc. I've played hundreds of games on this server
and I highly recommend it.

Angelo

Angelo,
Let me know the sign on name you use and I will add you to my friends
list. When I have enough, I can actually begin a formal online
tournament with logged crosstables. Add me to your friends list. Do a
nickname search for robmtchl.
Rob

I've been signed up with ChessWorld for a while. It would be useful if
people posted the name they use on that server so others on RGC* could
find them.

Look me up -- I'm not hard to find. ChessWorld handle: "Nemmers"

I suggest y'all try Gameknot.com. (www.gameknot.com)

Better interface, less "busy," superfluous crap on it. More
user-friendly, too.

I'm "nemmers" on that one as well.
