Really like community initiatives like this. I may well join although I am absolutely shocking at chess, and haven't played in yonks. I do enjoy it though.

Anyway, if this cost any money to setup, or money could be spent to make it better, let me know.

You should sign up, I dunno if Snuggles has spent anything, a lot of time in my absence though! Its becoming a vibrant NSC group over there and all levels welcome (I am playing shockingly badly at the moment on most 5 min games). I was gobsmacked to come back online and see 38 pages on this thread

The 5 min games are great
Building up my rating slowly.
Gets very tense if you go below 1 minute left

Update chaps.

This seems to going rather well., and everyone that's joined is either taking part in team matches or wants to.

The genuine enthusiasm is superb.

We currently have games going v Zenit St Petersburg, AFC Bournemouth, and two coming up v PAOK ( Greece ) and Qarabagh ( Azerbaijan ).

The feed back seems to be very positive, and all our chess players, whatever level, are enjoying it.

Our team is bloody ours, and we love them!

It's going top banana we seem to have some decent players. I just played a 2 hour blitz arena 5:5 started off hopeless, so many errors as was talking but ended on a streak of 6 wins

56th out of 298 players ok with that but should have been more
Too damned addictive!

Just seen that.

Yes, they have.That's a shame because I was in excellent dialogue with Anna, their organiser on this.

Is anyone else having problems logging onto Chess.com ? I've tried loads of times this evening but it doesn't seem to be available (and am having no problems with other websites)

I was and had to reset password which did the trick (changed to the same one I was already using)

For some reason Chess.com works better with some browsers than others. It seems to work best (for me) with Firefox or Chrome but doesn't like Microsoft Explorer or Edge and is prone to crash with those. This is what it says in the help section:

My Internet connection is fine - why am I getting disconnects?

Unfortunately, having an excellent Internet connection doesn't mean you won't see an occasional disconnect.

There are a number of things that could result in disconnection from the chess server:

Not having cleared cookies & history in a long time
Downloads or uploads (even sending email) in the background
Instant messenger clients
Memory-resident anti-virus software
Other browser tabs with streaming content
Browser add-ons
Using a USB wifi key


Here are some things you can do to minimize the risk of disconnects while you play:

1. Use a trustworthy browser: Chrome or Firefox - not Internet Explorer

2. Limit your use of messaging clients, media players, YouTube (etc.), sending/receiving emails, multiple tabs or anything else that may consume a lot of memory

3. Do maintenance chores regularly, clearing cookies, history, temporary internet files ("cache")

4. Suspend or terminate any memory-resident software that may perform memory-intensive background operations

Hmm... am using Chrome. Don't have You Tube or streaming running, cleared my cache last week and don't use IM. I get email messages telling me it's my move but can't access the site.

I'll try again tomorrow
