Did you get offered some initial 'greeter' games, Nane? These are often an opportunity for you to ask introductory questions about the site and its facilities - and for your greeter to make you aware of some of them.

Thanks for your responds.I shalldo my best to follow the tips you have given to me.But I was wondering, whether there is something somewhere written about ,for example ,the context of the main menus,or how to play games on line with opponents and not waiting for some days to finish the game and so on.If you please, tell me where in the forums i can find similar questions answered or topics of that kind,as i still don't know how to contact any helpers in here to ask my questions.Thanks a lot.

The following sources of information are available:

Help - at the top right of the homepage screen. Type in a word like speed and it will show you a list of Forum discussions and also and Frequently-Asked-Questions or Articles about 'speed of play', great chess players playing quickly, browsers running slowly, games timing out, etc.

 

Immediately after you have used the Help feature, you are brought to the Site Search form (this is where the list of matching results is presented). The first box is labelled Keywords; you could specify play games on line. The second qualifier is a drop-down menu labelled Category; by default, it is set to Entire Site, but you could choose Forums, Articles, etc. If you leave it set to Entire Site, and click on Search, you will see that one of the results is this one    http://www.chess.com/forum/view/help-support/playing-on-line-games

which talks about Play. Online Chess. Tournaments. Live Chess. Against the Computer. Vote Chess. Learn ... low on time in a game so that you will not forfeit the games by time. ...

 

Any time you click on the FORUMS button at the top, you will be offered the Search the Forums box (on the right of the screen). This will limit your search to the Forum discussions. When the lists of results is returned, you can refine your search by selecting a particular Forum area e.g. Chess.com Community or Help & Support.

 

Look at a few hot topics. Locate anybody talking sense. Send that person a message, challenge them to a game & chat with them, drop a note on their homepage. A person can be a quick guide to finding your way around the chess.com labyrinth.

 

Happy hunting!
