ScarletRose: Yes, lots of fun in the old Gothic Chess discussion board. I learned some Latin back then, such as "ad hominem". :) Many emotions, different sides, and characters involved, but it has been very quiet after the whole "Bumble Affair" died down.

I still like this site for playing the games. Hard to find Dark Chess elsewhere though IYT has it, and this is the only place that has Embassy Chess. Plus there's lots of other games. I do not visit other sites as this one is enough for me, but I'm sure there's good ones out there. There's features in BrainKing that I'm sure other sites do not have, but I'm just speculating. There's plenty of things here that could be added or improved, but it works for me as is.
