Hello Everyone,

There is a new chess playing site with a different twist. This site
offers all the same standard stuff that other chss sites offer like
rankings, tournaments, individual rating, your own personal game
history, no software to download, downloadable pgn games, chat, player
profles and yada yada yada. What makes this site unique is that you can
have as many games going as you want at the same time. Then what
happens is that you log in each day or every other day and you play
simult chess with all of your opponents. It is really unique. Each day
I log in and make 15-20 move leave a message for my opponents, who in
some cases are half way around the world, and log out. I play at my own
pace log in when I want to and can log out anytime without having to
worry about losing the game. All my games are stored and I can return
to them at anytime. Sometimes my opponent is online at the same time so
I play a little live chess until I have to go or until I get to a
position where I think requires a little more thought. This site is
really different. If you get a chance check it out.
http://www.chessmaniac.com Now when you first get in there you might
not get a game going right away. The best way to get multiple games
going is to go to challenges or view online players and invite a bunch
of players to play games. Make sure you insert you email in the move
notification box when signing up for your account and you will get an
email when your opponents have moved. I don't know if this is for
everyone but I actually canceled my account with ICC. This site is
really starting to take off and it has attracted some top players.
Including the the Texas female champion Angela Alston. Anyway I just
thought I would let everyone know about this great site. It is saving
me money as I no longer have to pay for my chess. Again the site is

There are plenty of sites that do that.
