Starting a new Daily game
From your home-page, hover over the 'Play' icon, and click on 'New Game' or 'Play'
This will take you to the Play menu where you can select your game.
From there, click on the Time Setting drop down to make sure you have the correct time setting selected:
Be sure you have selected one of the Daily Time settings highlighted above!Once you have chosen your time setting, you can either click 'Play' to find a match, OR, you can further customize your game by clicking 'custom game'
Custom options
If you want to change what kind of game challenge you're sending out, you can change the options before you click 'play'
- Type -Choose Standard Chess or Chess960 , or other Variants. You can also choose an Odds game, or a custom position.
- Time (Days per move) - your options range from 1 to 14 days for each move. Three days per move is the default.
- Opponent: Random - the default setting is to match you with a random player. You can change this to challenge one of your friends instead by clicking on the word 'random'.
- I Play As - this is only available for unrated games. Select what color you want to play as, or leave as random.
- Rating Range- choose a range of ratings your opponent must fall between. (It's usually best to seek players who are within 200 points of your own current rating.)
- Rated - toggle off if you don’t want the game to affect your rating. Note: Some of the custom options are only available for unrated games.
- Allow takebacks - this option is only available for unrated games. Takeback games allow for players to take back or ‘undo’ moves that have been played on the board. This setting is often used for teaching purposes.
- Move Speed - this will filter for players whose average move speed is equal to or lower than whatever option you select. You can check your own average move speed in your Stats.
- Minimum Games Played - enter a number to only match with players who have finished that many games or more.
- Avoid Time-Outs - enable this avoid players with a high percentage (over 10%) of time-outs.
- Premium Members Only - toggling this will match you only with a gold, platinum or diamond member of the site. You must be a premium member yourself to see this option.
Note: Be aware that putting narrow restrictions in the settings may cause long wait times to find an opponent who matches your requirements.
