What is NetChess all about?
Stan's NetChess is a FREE internet chess playing service (with an option to subscribe to get some enhanced services). Started in January of 1998, the site was originally not automated. People would submit moves for their games, and once or twice a day, I would update the games and transfer the game pages out to the net.
On March 29, 1999, the site became fully automated. That means that all actions performed here at Stan's NetChess are now verified and applied immediately.
On January 1, 2001, we started allowing subscriptions to the site. Subscribing is totally optional. No Free functionality was taken away when we went to the subscription stuff. There are some enhanced services you can read about as you get used to the site.
This site is geared toward people that don't have time to sit and play a full game all at once. Games are started through Challenges that indicate the pace desired in the game. Some people will want to make one move every day, while others will want to make many moves per day.
