Anyone like to play chess?

Hey Guys,

I'm starting a chess site. It is not open to the public yet. However I am recruiting what I call a beta team to help test the functionality, give me feedback, and allow a decent crosscut scaled experience of public activity.

We currently have 5 team members, counting the admins. I'd like to have a team of at least 10 or 12 besides us, or at least myself. That way we can simulate game play, tournament play, etc.

If you'd be interested in helping out reply here or send me a PM.

I haven't played in a while, but I'll help out.

I used to love to play but it's been a while so I'm probably rusty.

Cool!

Count me in now and I want him to be my first match.

It's been a lot of years, but I was in Chess Clubs in high school and helped start one @ TC in 73.

I'm no good, but enjoy it, my son (9) and daughter (7) have just started learning as I gave my old chess set to my son when we found it in the basement at my parents a couple months ago. They now play fairly often, and some on the computer, they'd love it if you are looking for real beginners.

hmmm, well Pastor Bill, 1st of all, I have no intention of inappropriate behavior being permitted, but ,2ndly, as the nature of the site will include various people from around the world at any given time I'm not sure it's a good idea to let children play there.

I have et the default age set at 16 for now. If you really think it's a good idea I'll consider it with the other admins.

The kids only are on the family computer which is in the dining room, only during supervised times, I wouldn't hold you responsible on that, and figured your site would be cleaner than most. I give the kids a little freedom on that, but keep talking to them about things too, most likely they'd come get me if they saw an inappropriate word or something, but part of that depends on if this is just playing, or is there alot of chat and community included? if it is, then we might have to push a little more supervision while they were on, but either way is fine.
