We had a problem with our website security certificate, which has now been resolved.
Some of you using Firefox may of experienced a problem saying our certificate was from an untrusted source.
This was nothing to worry about, the certificate is fine, just wasn't installed correctly on our server.

ELO ratings are calculated in finished games from the historic ELO when the game was started. This has always been the case, nothing will change.
But to avoid player confusion, from today all live and finished games will display the ELO when the game was started not the current rating of each player.

Player account settings area has now been named as "Control Panel". This can only be accessed from the top of "My Games" page. "My Account" has been removed from the main menu.
Various improvements have been made. Most obvious are; holiday control panel has been moved to this area, change of email address now requires email confirmation, seperate avatar and picture upload sections and additional pre-defined avatars.

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.
