I tried to play AHII today but all I got was Program has stopped working. Got fed up fooling with it and decided to play chess instead. Here is a game I played today and I must say I am very rusty when it come to endings. If you want to see it here it is.

you can copy/paste the red part into here http://chessqueen.com/games and click play and it'll play through. If you like chess and play it this is a good example of how not to play an endgame. I am the white pieces. The game was won for white at move 27 then I gave it away from there.

Hope you get you AH up and running.  I used to play chess quite often but was never the student of the game you appear to be.  Is there somewhere you can play against each other for free online?  I might be willing to let you mop up the board with me sometime!

I will have to see. I used to have an account at a place where you could play for free but they may or may not have gone commercial. I was about to go back to work and I can't recall the name right of the top of my head. I will let you know tomorrow. Mostly I play on the Internet chess club for the last 10 or so years I think they give you a 2 week free trial then it is 64.00 for three years I believe but I think there is another place where you can play for free.

Take a look at these sights and see what you think.  I just did a quick search, there may  be better sites.

that's it chess.com I think 1998 was the last time I played there. My online name was Phileas-Fogg not sure it is still valid though. will try to log on there tomorrow night. I gotta go to Ohio tonight though. I will try to be on at 1900 cdt. if you want to get togetther for a couple games.



ok, I'm signed up there but I gotta go to work, so I'll see you on there tomorrow night? Fineas-Fogg is my handle there now.

I'm signed up also (rkanjl).  As far as I know nothing going on tonight.  I should be on about 6:30 CST.  Should anything unforeseen crop up I'll post here.  I hope your not expecting much as I haven't played in years.

Sorry Flushed, I won't be able to make it tonight.  A guy I work with is bringing over his laptop he's having trouble with.  Let's plan for tomorrow if it's convenient for you.  What time is a good time? 

[Flushed]

No problems, I have to work all night tomorrow.  My load picks up at 1500 and delivers at midnight 500 mi away then i have to do yard check when i get where I'm going.
Best times for me is on the weekend in the afternoon
