the good news is that even free members will be able to play in a few tournaments a week. diamond members will have unlimited access to tournaments, and other premium members will have ample tournaments as well (though not unlimited). 

coming soon!

By the way: how would we join these tournaments? Would we join directly through Live Chess (on the day of the tournament?) or from these correspondence pages?

In any case, I look forward to playing some of these tournaments. It really sounds fun! WOOHOO for Erik and the team!

That's good news Erik.  However I wonder if the often mentioned and yet unresolved problem of screen refreshes after every move on ipads/iphones/itouchs will make this feature unusable for apple mobile ios users?   

If it appears that I'm being a noodge or cranky about this is because i'm cranky and feeling like "noodging" you on this annoyingly persistent problem.

A case of poly noodging? :)

I'm sure with time all these tweaks and twacks should be resolved. 

You're working on resolving these issues right now, aren't you Erik!

Poly - on this issue you should be bugging apple, not us :( for some unknown reason he safari browser on iPad isn't normal. We cant control what it is doing. But that's why we built a native app for live chess.

Erik, I have no idea what I would say to apple. Tell me and I will, although I can imagine that would act w more urgency than you might. In the mean time how about making a native app, as you say, that deals with this? Or do you know f there is some other iOS browser that doesn't have this problem?
