    I've found a few good free networkable chess programs that we could use for a chess tournament. Are you in?

    Just purely out of curiosity, what is to stop someone from multitasking with a chess program? :wink:

    Think on the bright side. As long as I am in it, no one else can be bottom in rank!

    Whether I play also depends on logistics.

    I'm in, but I'm like everyone else, depends on the logistics. Long as I can play at a REASONABLE hour, and away from work, I'm in.

    Unless the program uses Java, I don't know what happens with my Windows 98 but I can't run Java programs
