Mariyam Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 What has come of this? Just me and BossBhai have registered and play. Does any one know a good site for coin chess that can be played from a cell phone also? Thanks in advance.
jusarrived Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 ^ where have you registered ? last time we played on Yahoo
Mariyam Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 ^ where have you registered ? last time we played on Yahoo The site BossBhai suggested. Currently from ICF its just the two of us. http://www.chess.com The site is quite good, but not without its flaws. The games here can't be paused or put on hold. They don't have coin chess on this website. Just regular (Indian) chess.The positive aspect is that you can play the games from your cell. Yahoo has both coin chess and Indian chess, but I can't play yahoo games from my cellphone.

Mariyam Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Chess.com is far better than yahoo chess. Yahoo is too unstable and is buggy. I don't know what you mean by unstable, but let me give you an example. The other day me and BB were playing a game when I got a call and had to fetch some list to read out ( to the caller).. and we couldn't even pause the game. So I lost a good 4 mins (of a 10 min game) and I could do nothing about it. Whats the fun in that? I think chess.com has such basic issues. Besides, Chess.com only has Shatranj/Indian chess and not coin chess. I'm not a big fan of Indian chess, but I love playing coin chess. :((
Late Cut Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Count me in if there is still space. It makes sense to play on a site where you can pause and save the game.

Pausing defeats the whole purpose of a time bound game. I think chess.com has an option of playing games in you leisure where you can even take upto days to make your moves. Play that one if you want.
b555 Posted February 23, 2011 Author Posted February 23, 2011 ok today is final chance for getting in whoever is in by night 8pm is in i will post the final draft and timings of play and rules by 10pm
Jadoo Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 ok today is final chance for getting in whoever is in by night 8pm is in i will post the final draft and timings of play and rules by 10pm Let the guys sort out the timings themselves, it's not going to be possible to have games played at specific times. Where are we gonna play?
EnterTheVoid Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Waiting on chess.com. Anybody interested in a game?
Mariyam Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 You cant pause a game because people will misuse that by trying to buy time when in a pickle. That is a valid concern. Then the way I would design the pause function is different. If I'm playing you and want to pause the game, I should ask you for the pause and specify a time limit. Only if you agree can the game be paused. Or something on these lines.
Mariyam Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Hey b555, you haven't given me my prize money yet, for winning the tournament. Please hurry up. I want to use that money to bet in the world cup games.
