Any chess players out there?

Random irrelevance that just didn't fit into other forums. Talk about anything.

Any chess players out there?

Post by Arce »

One day, whilst pondering the wonders of the universe, I stumbled upon a pretty neat site: http://instantchess.com

I'm a fairly decent chess player, though I mostly only play for the lulz...And this site is pretty much exactly what I needed--quick, impersonal games in those minutes of spare time throughout the day. You require no sign-in of any kind, you simply enter the site and are automatically paired with a random person to play against. The thing I like best is how impersonal it is; you can go through a quick succession of games against completely random people, which allows you to try new strategies without fearing a loss as well as enables you to try your hand at playing shitloads of other people. If you're hardcore, you can sign up for an account to reserve your screen name and get rankings, plus you can and can always view and print auto-generated logs of all the game's you've played.

I though it was pretty neat, and ended up playing for half my Halloween. ;P

If anybody gives it a try, lemme know what you think.
