May we wish all our chess players a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from che55.com.

We have decided to remove the 10 minute, 1 hour and 24 hour game timers from all new games starting from today.
We felt this was necessary due to abuse by some of our members deliberately setting low time games to increase chances of timeouts.
Games already started with these low times won't be affected.

Players are sorted by their league points, NOT their ELO rating.

Chess games can last for hours, days or even weeks. Time per move is set at beginning of game, for example '3-days'. Each player then has up to '3-days' to make their move during the duration of that chess game.

Your not limited to your own country. Anybody with an internet connection worldwide can login and be playing against you. So an opponent 4000 miles away could be attacking your King!

No dodgy chess software to download before playing. The game interface has been designed to run in your normal browser window.
