Summer Blues

Attendance has been at record lows all summer; but, we are still meeting (you know, perseverence and all that). As summer wanes, we hope to see the numbers rise again. And we hope to see you there.

Good internet chess sites

For correspondence chess (which is FAR more exciting than it may sound!) there is no better site than SchemingMind.com. The folks there are top drawer. It is rare to see such civilized, courteous folk on the internet. I guess all the nice folk are there. SchemingMind is correctly self-described as a small, friendly internet community.

For live chess, give a look at FreeChess.org also known as FICS (Free Internet Chess Server). On the up side, it is FREE. On the down side, the last I was on, the chatting was rough edged from time to time. It is possible to block the chats, though. You'll need to download an interface; many good ones are available for free. There are even a few premium (pay to get) interfaces for mobile devices.

There are premium (you gotta pay to play) live chess sites, too; but I am not familiar enough with the choices to recommend any.

If you go to SchemingMind.com, look me up; I'm Archr there.

Regards,
Archr
