When I play with friends, the process is sometimes: - Exchange usernames - Search for the player - Send a challenge - Wait for them to find the correct game It works, but I've always wondered if there is a simpler approach. Would you prefer: 1. Username challenges 2. Private game codes 3. Direct invitation links 4. Something else Personally, I like the idea of creating a table and sharing a direct invite link so the other player can join immediately. How do you usually handle friend-to-friend games online? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

I have one such post ready, re: the 1.b4 c6 variation, wherein Black maintains an outpost with ...e5 guess I'm looking for a little encouragement too. I am a comparatively VERY weak player compared to the usual on here, but I think I have some good ideas now and then speaking of which, it struck me just this afternoon, that perhaps not the greatest WC of all-time, but possibly the one with the most interesting ideas, was, of course, Fischer why follow theory? make some!

I don't remember exactly, but I do remember it wasn't in precisely the same place when I looked for it a second time. No doubt it moved from page 1 to page 14 because its own index changed. And it could creep back up as other topics change index and they move from the front to the back.

It's interesting that the chesspub url parameter is handled differently when logged in versus when not logged in. I much prefer the not logged in behavior.<ul><li>Logged in ?num=1159984243/56 gives Reply #45 .. #59</li><li>Not logged in ?num=1159984243/56 gives Reply #56 .. #70</li></ul> Plunking around when not logged in seems to show the problem is in reply #70.

I tried this a couple of days ago and it worked partially. Afterwards I was able to access chesspub via my mobile while using wifi, however accessing chesspub via my computer still didn't work <img rel=":-?" src="https://www.chesspub.com/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/huh.gif" alt="Huh" title="Huh" />. Now I look again and it works on the computer as well... I love technology! Thanks for the tip. Probably it fixed it somehow. Have a nice day.
