I signed up yesterday, played a game against the computer and lost, looked at some of the lessons... played a game today and won, but wasn't logged on. Went back to the lessons, weren't able to play the videos...

Is there a getting started guide that I've missed?

Thanks.

Welcome to the site. Most of the videos are for diamond membership only.

Understandable. 'How to play' was a good page, then went on to YouTube for a bit there. I'll be back.

One good advice. You are most players lose their first game,like me. I was supposed to be 1200 but now in 584. So play your best, also you have a chance of playing with. 600- 1000 rated people. So be prepared!

And you seem to be doing pretty good at puzzles. Great job!

I enjoyed my trial game, appreciated the tips, and won.  It was my first game ever.    This system does not resemble my trial game so I am cancelling now.   Too bad.

Ok, gotta start thinking several moves ahead on the puzzles.

So, I played a bot and won, but had a few moves listed as mistakes. How can I post that board and move so I can ask why it was called a mistake?

Thanks.
