 What is Stan's NetChess all about?
Stan's NetChess is a FREE internet chess playing service. Started in January of 1998, the
site was originally not automated. People would submit moves for their games, and once or
twice a day, the games would be updated and transferred out to the net.
On March 29, 1999, the site became fully automated. That means that all actions performed
at Stan's NetChess are now
verified and applied immediately.
The most important thing to understand about this site is that the games are
not intended to be played in their entirety in one sitting. There are many chess sites on
the net that allow people to play "live", with rooms full of people waiting to
play, chat windows and all kinds of cool stuff. I hate to have you go, but if you are
looking to play a live game right now, you'll have to go elsewhere. Yahoo.com has a great
games area - you might want to start there. For other suggestions, check out the Chess
Links page at Stan's NetChess.
This site is geared toward people that don't have time to sit and play a full game all at
once. Games are started through Challenges that indicate the pace desired in the game.
Some people will want to make one move every day, while others will want to make many
moves per day.
After you register, you'll want to check out Challenge Central. At Challenge Central, you
can accept a PUBLIC challenge or make PUBLIC and PRIVATE challenges. With a PUBLIC
challenge, you specify what Skill Level you want your opponent to be. With a PRIVATE
challenge, you specify exactly who you want to play against and that player has the option
to accept or reject your challenge.
Wow, if you made it this far, you are probably interested in playing here! That's great!
To get started, you will have to Register - all you need is a valid E-Mail address. Go to
the Player Registration page, fill out the registration information, and HAVE FUN!
