    Possibly. We have to create some tournaments and things to convince people to play. I know you can play for free because I have done so though not in a while.

    My understanding is that you have a server yourself at least that's what you talked about last year. I presumed that the server I saw advertised on the CFC facebook page was yours.

    OK, I'll take a liberty to list here the advantages of the Chess Supersite just to keep Voting Members informed:

    "...nor can they give us FIDE ratings"

    In a view of unsolved problem of cheating over the board (see Hal Bonds' report) how can anybody seriously talk about FIDE ratings in the on line games? What are they really worth? Don't you think that it is nothing but a fiction with only one goal in mind - to put more $$$ into FIDE's bank account!

    "There are different levels of service. You can play for free. You can pay more and play for titles. The training platform for Chess in the Schools is the most exciting part of the service for me. That portion is free for kids."

    Well, I've looked at the Premium Chess and for free all you get - nothing except a mediocre playing zone. The "exciting" training platform for Chess in the Schools I could not find. Please provide the link.

    I'm not advertising here - all I want is to inform the Voting Members on some important issues. Look, earlier you were writing about advantages of Premium Chess. So in all fairness I thought I could mention advantages of the Chess Supersite.
