I recently joined chess.com and gameknot.com. Tried searching for some TDF members... found none. Is anyone from Digit forum also a member of the abovesaid websites?

If yes, lets play chess... here's my id: creepyghost.

I am intrested, but I am still a weakling at chess. I want to join somewhere where I can learn to become a Pro GM.

@MetalheadGautham I'll recommend both of those sites I mentioned, to you. out of those, the first one(chess.com) is a bit better I reckon as it has some real cool features. The other one's nice too(gameknot) but it has a lot of features accessible only by older players or paid members. Do post your id here if you register.

@Rey: I aint got a yahoo account. I hate yahoo personally for its age restrictions :evil:. Those restrictions sorta... angered me up against Yahoo (The same happened with orkut). By the way, nice killboard, dude!

@dheeraj_kumar & Metalhead Gautham: Well? Why don't you start playing again? Register anywhere and post your id (Be prepared to win, I blunder a lot!)

I used to play chess on zapak.com. Did not used that for long time though, no free time :(

So should I join those two websites you mentioned?

@dheeraj_kumar: I can't find your account using the search feature. Are you sure its chess.com? With the exact id??? If you have registered, add me please (I'm known as 'creepyghost' there).
