Off-topic, but just in case someone's interested in playing chess on the net.

This ng. is almost dead. :(

But there are mailing lists of people who are willing to play - follow the links on
http://www.chess-space.com/ - or visit a commercial site like
http://www.chessclub.com/ which is dedicated to email chess.

Don't drop a request in:

You'll probably get flamed (worst case scenario) or sent to:

The most popular server is a commercial one:
http://www.chessclub.com/
(7 days free access though)

A free server is:
http://www.chess.net/

In both cases you should register and install software (like telnet).

 :D   I wonder why my ISP doesn't offer this one...
