Frequently asked questions
Online chess at a real club
Online chess is simply chess over the internet: you play someone on the other side of the country or the world, whenever it suits you. Here you can do that quickly in a live game, or calmly by correspondence, with days of thinking time per move.
What sets us apart from the big chess sites is the club around it. You play people you get to know, with a forum, teams and a rating list of our own. Playing chess online here is free: an account costs nothing and you can start right away.
Rather practise first? Play the computer at your own strength, solve the daily chess puzzle or follow the learning path of the chess trainer.
