In my last entry I talked about finding a good, free, online chess site and also my inability to locate a (for me) decent chess program.<\/p>\n
Since then, I’ve discovered an even better chess site, Red Hot Pawn<\/a>, and, via that site, a chess program, Rival Chess<\/a>, that suits all of my needs.<\/p>\n There are a couple of things are better about RHP. One, Michelle is always notified via email every time it’s her turn to move. For some reason, which I never could figure out, she only got intermittent email notification from It’s Your Turn<\/a> – although I<\/i> was always notified. With RHP, she gets email all the time.<\/p>\n Also, I like the way that the screen refresh on RHP is much more responsive. Granted, it does<\/i> use JavaScript so, unlike IYM, it’s not compatible with every browser set up (those that have JavaScript turned off for security reasons), but for most people it responds a lot better.<\/p>\n I did have one minor problem – Mozilla, for some reason, was unable to make any moves. I even went so far as to file a Mozilla bug about it. I found out shortly after, however, that it was actually my fault for having set a JavaScript security option that was preventing RHP from being able to do something it needed to do in order to allow chess piece movement. Now that that’s been cleaned up, I haven’t experienced any further problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In my last entry I talked about finding a good, free, online chess site and also my inability to locate a (for me) decent chess program.
