What are some other good places to play chess besides Yahoo? [I heaad the zone is also a good place, but there must be more good sites for chess]

Is that a hint?

Looking to trim some more branches?

I don't play directly online, but there are several very good sites for playing asynch (i.e. much like correspondence chess or how we do it here but with time limits.)
http://www.stansco.com/netchess/index.html
http://www.net-chess.com/
http://www.playchess.de/playchess.htm

There are others but these all seem to be well organized.

The best site for links (and lots of other things about chess) is
http://www.chessopolis.com/

There is also a site in German (so I struggle to use it, but chess does not need too much language skill to follow things) which looks very good

nah, the chess forum is a good forum. Besides, SC will kill me if I trim the chess forum.

I've tried the yahoo forum. It's fine. It works. Played a couple of games on it last year.

Can't guarantee to make a schedule, especially not to START after midnight London time! And especially not on Sunday to Thursday night.
