Here's a deal; you stop complaining about our vacations, and we representatives of the landed gentry will consider allowing you to sleep on extra straw for the next week or so.

Other sites...........they have rules like you can only start/cancel 10 games every 3 days!!!! Come on! They also have limits to how many games you have going, even for premium members!! You can't make a team unless you buy the "super titanium membership". I think in most cases it is better to be a free member on chess.com then to be a paying member on another site! Thank you Chess.com!

I could do with a few free members to do the chores (playing the opening few moves, for instance). Where do you get them from?
