Why not just write "handshake" in the chat box to start the game?
Hand shake

GL just sucks. Chess is not a game of luck.

i would prefer the choice the the green smiley face ( like the yellow faces here at the site ) as it has a big grin and the red devil smiley. either one is good to open, close or comment in the middle of the game without having to type something up.
I know what you mean, Stephen.
I tend to say good afternoon/morning - whatever it is at the start of the game. At the end I try to remember to thank them for the game, whatever the result. And I don't mind admitting when I've been blindsided with a killer move.
I respect the fact that some people don't want to chat, but a little basic etiquette would be welcome.

I think it would be fun to be able to press a button and an out stretched hand appears in the chat box. And then when the opponent does the same a hand shake appears.
It replicates what happens "over the board" and just seems better than other options like Gl or hi or...............

Firstly, cool site, thank you!
My idea.
On starting a game of chess it's good to start off with a greeting but what? Some write, good luck, but I don't wish the opposition good luck exactly.
I tend to just do nothing but what I'd like is a hand shake button that each player could push and a handshake could appear on the screen, when both players have pushed it.
Best,
Stephen
