Anything but email chess. I had to ignore SOB when it got rough.

I did run a BBS search for chess, but it didn't turn up anything good. I was in the process of scouring google and decided this might get some good results too. Don't worry Sandman, I've got the bases covered.

(side bonus you get a free email...)(runs in browser thru java applet and has rating system..) I suggest timed games because people will lame out to try to get you to quit..(pad their score) 12:00 game is plenty of time for casual game..

some players also use computer assistance... not a problem if you know how to beat computers thru traps... (as long as they are using chessmaster as opposed to deep fritz....)

Excite.com is another good one..

anything free with alot of faces is usally good for chess..

If you are of higher level you may want to pay to play such as kasporovs site etc.....

best ive found. i frequent there regularly.

unlike yahoo, which is vast and ugly, there is a well defined community here.

small cost, but worth it to play the rated games, attend workshops, join tourney's and play with a variable 2/d or 3/d board view.
