Hi guys,

I joined because it is a wonderful chess site.  Lots of things to do.  Very nice/slick interface, "THE ANALYSIS BOARD", tournaments, puzzles, forums, chess mentor, tactics trainer, etc.  It is a very well developed site.  It will be great when they (if they ever do) fix 'live' chess.

If I had to pick one thing, I would say the analysis board.  It is just so much better that having to set up a chess board all the time.  Then play, then reset, then play, then reset.  This one feature is probably the best thing on this site. 

Watch your backrank.

There is useful information and insight here.

They did an application on Facebook, which I decided was superior to all other 'proper' chess websites. This then led me to the actual website, which of course is the finest on the net.

I just wanted to play chess and this was the first result google gave me problarly the best result too
