If you bought your sub via Forward Chess it might still work on their App, I don't know. <img rel="&#58;&#45;/" src="https://www.chesspub.com/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/undecided.gif" alt="Undecided" title="Undecided" /> </div><!--363A2F2F38333E28285B01--><br /><br />That is what I figured.  The new site does work well on mobile, so it isn't essential.  I just wasn't sure.<br /> https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1785747559/3#3 ChessPub Forum/ChessPublishing.com Discussion https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1785747559/3#3 Tue, 11 Aug 2026 00:45:04 GMT Tony - Thanks for following up on my comments. That's an interesting bit of information about the DGT board errors. I never considered that as a possibility. https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1783678331/5#5 ChessPub Forum/ChessPublishing.com Discussion https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1783678331/5#5 Thu, 16 Jul 2026 15:25:02 GMT Thank you all for the warm welcome and the insights!<br /><br />@Lauri Torni - 50 years of chess is impressive, that's real dedication. I'm curious how the game has changed for you over the decades, especially with engines and online play becoming so dominant.<br /><br />@GMTonyKosten - makes sense about the shift to other platforms. I think there's still something special about dedicated chess forums though, the depth of discussion here feels different from social media.<br /><br />@cathexis - I'll definitely dig through the archives, thanks for the tip. Looking forward to more discussions here. https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1781366598/0#0 ChessPub Forum/ChessPub.com Forum https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1781366598/0#0 Sat, 13 Jun 2026 16:03:18 GMT Hi everyone,<br /><br />I was curious how most players here prefer to start online games with friends.<br /><br />When I play with friends, the process is sometimes:<br /><br />- Exchange usernames<br />- Search for the player<br />- Send a challenge<br />- Wait for them to find the correct game<br /><br />It works, but I've always wondered if there is a simpler approach.<br /><br />Would you prefer:<br /><br />1. Username challenges<br />2. Private game codes<br />3. Direct invitation links<br />4. Something else<br /><br />Personally, I like the idea of creating a table and sharing a direct invite link so the other player can join immediately.<br /><br />How do you usually handle friend-to-friend games online?<br /><br />Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1771760279/0#0 ChessPub Forum/ChessPub.com Forum https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1771760279/0#0 Sun, 22 Feb 2026 11:37:59 GMT I have updated some of the Forum modules (which I hadn't done in 7 years!), these are all only minor revisions so everything should work fine, but if something stops working or behaves oddly, please let me know here, thanks!  <img rel="[smiley=thumbup.gif]" src="https://www.chesspub.com/yabbfiles/Smilies/thumbup.gif" alt="Smiley" title="Smiley" /> https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1763689869/0#0 ChessPub Forum/ChessPub.com Forum https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1763689869/0#0 Fri, 21 Nov 2025 01:51:09 GMT long story short, I could write blog posts on lichess, with links back to this forum.<br /><br />I have one such post ready, re: the 1.b4 c6 variation, wherein Black maintains an outpost with ...e5<br /><br />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<br /><br />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<br /><br />why follow theory? make some! https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1602421655/7#7 ChessPub Forum/ChessPub.com Forum https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1602421655/7#7 Sun, 28 Jul 2024 09:12:42 GMT Most forums have a button labeled "Attach," "Upload," or a paperclip icon.
