I would like to announce a new Chess Server -- http://www.funnode.com/games/chess

The server, although still in beta, has been online for several months now. We would like to invite anyone and everyone to play a game or two on the server and let us know what you think about the site -- We appreciate all comments/criticism.

Here are a few things http://www.funnode.com/games/chess has to offer:
  • - Ladder Tournament!
    - Totally free (no premium / pay-to-play garbage)
    - Easy signup (although you don't need an account to play!)
    - Completely HTML5 / CSS3 / Javascript

    --- i.e., nothing to install and works on most smartphones and tablets
    --- i.e., "instant play" (no refreshing or opening new tabs/windows)
    - Play Humans or Bots (p4wn and Stockfish)
    - "Undo Move" and "Offer Draw" options available
    - Personalized Player Pages to keep track of Ratings and Ranks
    - Private Games (useful for teaching)
    - All games are Saved - Reviewable and Downloadable in PGN format
    - Chatting allowed Globally, In-Game, while Spectating, and while Reviewing

    --- offline and private chatting also available
Please feel free to leave comments/criticism either here, in the chat windows, or the forums (http://www.funnode.com/forums). Thank You!
