...when the new hardware comes online, the site will be fast enough to support real-time play. When you move, no waiting for the refresh to hit. Of course there is a great deal of coding to be done for this, and Fencer and I have not even discussed this as of yet.

I am just wondering if people would be interested in this real-time play option.

realtime chess-variants@brainking seem desirable ...

e.g. yahoo is just too chAotic for quickchess-tourneys anyway,
and gothic/janus surely would be attractive in kinda otb-atmosphere ...

although for pente there already are quick-tourneys weekly - why not ... ~*~

Subject: Re: By the way...

I think real time games are a good idea, but I'd rather see them on a separate site, maybe a BK Real Time with cross membership, or something like that. I know the atmosphere on a real-time site is very different from that of a turn-based site.

I used to set aside a weekend afternoon every now and then and play in tourneys on the Gaming Zone, but I do prefer the leisurely pace of turn-based tournaments. Guess it's my bbs roots... :-)
