Title: The Oldest Game to be Played on a Board of 64 Squares!
Post by: ActionDan on May 18, 2011, 12:25:34 AM: I am of course talking about chess! (checkers is a game for monkeys!)

So I hear some of the faceless masses inhabiting this forum know how to push pawns. In case some of you want to play verified MotKers, let this thread be the haven of handles for people who want to play chess!

I have an ICC account whose handle is ActionDan (it's expired, so I need some coins)
I have a chess.com account whose handle is also, unsuprisingly, ActionDan!

Out of all the free chess sites there are, I think chess.com is the best for the services it provides and the quality and ease of play it offers.

Of course, handles from other sites are appreciated as well! So what are you waiting for?! Let's play some chess!
