I like 1 or 4...

Can I spend six months of my life creating a YtoICS for one of these and have the certanty that autochess will be allowed?

Please advise.

Regards,

P.S. I do not give a damn about lobby chat, ratings and crap like that. All I want is 1/0 games with friends.

[Waldemar]

Autochess is not allowed in any of those sites but sure you will find some players using it. Site 4 we have moderators there online all the time, so prog will be a problem.

Thanks for pages ,I added another page that it is very very interesting you can create tournaments, practice, create equipment and more, I hope will be useful

http://es.lichess.org/

Best regards.

[Waldemar]

or

http://en.lichess.org/ ----> for English version

http://pt.lichess.org/ ----> for Portuguese version

and so on...

I like, we can observe 9 games at same time, also is able to merge in a forum page and we have a training puzzle game.

Agree, 1 and 4 look best

I like 4

- a lot of players, just 1 room all together, can play against their Computers (EASY-MEDIUM-HARD-IMPOSSIBLE). the main/original/first chess site around - chess.com. and many other things... I cant chat there, anybody knows when this option is available? or just VIP members? maybe cuz i played just 5 games there.

Do they ban @ site #4 for using chess bot?

Is it possible to chat (kibitz) in the table you are playing?

[Waldemar]

When we reach rating 2000 we receive this message: "We have a zero-tolerance policy on cheating, and we have developed sophisticated (and very effective) cheat-detection methods.When we catch cheaters, we close their accounts immediately and ban them from future participation on Chess.com."

And about chat i found this: "Yo, I been here over 2 years and my mate for over 3 years. We both occasionaly go to live chat and it sucks how you only allow paying members to chat and non paying members can only chat once a minute. You really should consider allowing valued players to chat whether they are paying you or not."

[matematiko]

After careful consideration and reading Waldemar responses, now I dislike options 1 & 4. Because it is impossible to chat, there is no way of warning users that we are using a program.

I am "studying" now option 2, which it can also be seen in English here:
http://www.playok.com/en/chess/

The standard user interface limits the table to a minimum of 3 minutes, but who knows, maybe from YaY'k we can send the command to make it 1 minute.

We will see.

The only problem I can see is it standing out like a sore thumb to the sites admins if a table is created with a lower time than 3 minutes.

not quite my friend .... In FlyOrDie site is permitted but even autochess programs .... there are several programs playing there .... and many autochess ..... there are a large number of manuals programs and autochess playing on that platform. .. the only thing you should be aware of is that the site places a "!" next to your nick identifying how the program .... Otherwise you can play normally ... will be of great value if you also have interest to play on that site .... thus making it more competitive .... for the autochess are in the hands of a few....

I know you will say that the graph is not the best but you gain in competitiveness with good programs and against great autochess .... having many players playing pcc this site

[Waldemar]

yes there are a lot of progs there, and in all forums people wanna autochess for that site, the problem i see is the animation, making the games no go more than 45/50 moves in 1 min, even the progs there cant go faster, maybe they use screen capture.

Caught my attention to know bots are permitted there. Let's check it out at least.

[matematiko]

The problem I see with http://www.flyordie.com/chess/ is that you can not create a table, leave the bot in AutoStart and go out and have fun. You actually have to be "glued" to the screen and manually send "challenges" or wait and accept challenges from others. Although this is a very good site, at the moment I think we wil pass (let's see what dene thinks about this site).
