I want to share with you the best secret in online chess. Chess Club Live
The website is small and humble, a bit dated, retro if you are being kind but its not competing with chess.com and the chesscubes of the world. It's primarily a correspondence chess website with blitz chess
Features are many and getting added to almost daily! Here are a few that struck me.
- *Play an unlimited number of games against other players in standard or thematic openings
* The strongest computer program is online on the website and plays all comers. So you could test that pet opening of yours against a 3000 elo player
* Your games are automatically annotated by the server and you are awarded prizes for Brilliancies, and your game is uploaded onto Facebook to their very popular page.
* This compliments the bog standard blitz chess servers like ICC, FICS, playchess.com, and chess cube as games can be played at your pace be in 1 min per game or 14 days per move. Also its a Mobile friendly site and you can still play on your favourite portable device.
* A lot of GMs,IMs and serious players are joining all the time, as the word spreads.
The Facebook page for Chess Club Live is great, they publish chess news from all over the globe as well as updates on games and interesting positions from the Chess Club Live website.
* They have some innovative web chess apps that help improve your chess and are fun. My favourite is the "Play like a Chess God" where you predict the moves of the "strongest chess entity". really fun
* The website is accredited by the British Federation of Correspondence Chess and members can achieve ICCF chess titles like FM, IM, or GM.
