Calling all chess fanatics! As many of you know, there are a lot of websites blocked on our school computers - a lot of them game sites. Even the awesome Chess application that comes with our laptops is blocked! However, there is an incredible website that is not only good for coming up with cool piece/board combinations, but has lessons, tournaments, live games, live events, and many more!
A rather generic name holding site, Chess.com is free, unblocked, runs beautifully, and is one of the best and most popular chess websites in the world. There is so much to do on this website. It has thousands of lessons, videos, and there is a social media aspect to it as well. After setting up a free account, you can invite your friends to play. You can play games against your friends, or against other people in the world of the same ranking, both blitz rounds and days per move.
Chess.com really is a great website for both beginners and grandmasters! Please check out this site if you a) are a lover of strategy games or chess in particular, or b) don’t want to catch yourself playing games like um, well, let’s not mention any names here… *cough cough* Ski Safari *cough* Flappy Bird *cough* Zombocalypse *cough cough* Tank Trouble *cough*.
