    This is started to be annoying i've won 3 games in row but my rating is still 1200 in gameknot.com. Why?

    What blew my mind is the lack of blitz. I've played mainly 1 minute, 3 minute, and 5 minute blitz games. Gameknot offers 9 minute games, but even those dont affect your rating.

    Why disqualify the rush? I'm tabled. I'm tabled.

    I play chess, though I haven't done so in a long while because I've been flat out with uni. But now that I'm on holidays, I would be glad to have a game with somebody from LitNet...

    Well, thanks you all for pointing me to GameKnot. I love chess, but I haven`t played for a long time. Loving the game doesn`t make me a good player, so if you want to get your stats up, seek me! My username is Stefan_ro

    i playing on gameknot last year. my rating went from 1480 to its pitiful state now... 1250ish.
    DRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    don't send me a challenge. (you dont know my username
    is anyone on a team? if ya'll are interested join the ecclectics. i've lost so many games for our team (many of them i were on the verge of winning but then got timed out) and now i feel really bad so anyone who's good at chess, come and play for us.

    go and chess are related. does anyone play internet go? i've been to some of the real time go lounges but i often dont have 1 whole hour without interruption. is there a go lounge similar to gameknot?
    (and you writers, update the wikipedia entry on gameknot)

    when i started playing blitz, they only had the 10 minute kind. and those were WAAAAY too fast for me. :P
    haven't been to the blitz section lately. im scared. i loose basically 75% of the time there.
    grr. im not good enough to hang out with you blitzy people.

    I am the captain of team Assassins, my rating was going over 1800 but then i got sick and lost a lot of games due timeouts. If any player who's over %55 winning percent wants to join team they are welcomed.

    chess eh? cool stuff... I quite enjoy the game!

    Does anyone here play any chess varients, such as 3d chess (best known for its appearence in Star Trek...The original series with Kirk and Spock) or Assideum? Also by chance, does anyone here play chinease chess?
