Great online play. It doesn't take forever to find opponents and play is timed so someone can't wait you out. Looking forward to the one minute option.

Negatives: -Lots of cheaters in the 1 minute games. - No chat function. Basically anti-social. Positives: Nice ratings and ranking system. You can also email games to yourself. There are a lot of strong human players, especially when it is evening time in east Asia. One minor issue- the pairings system is great for most players but could be improved for some situations. Example: if my rating is 2400, a lot of times it seems like the system will pair a 2100 rated player against a 2000 rated player, because 2100 is closer to 2000 than 2400, but then the only other players left are at 1900 or lower so then I get paired with one of them. I think this makes everyone less happy. A lot of times my opponent will just immediately resign. It also bores spectators and bores me. If the pairings system tried to avoid enormous ratings differences (like first pair the 2400 player against one of the 2000+ players in this example), I think it would be helpful.

Why no chat and why no rematch a simple button will do, results are not always fair. If I win guy same rating I win little, yet if I lost I find a lot deducted. Where is the logic.Why the one minute only in China peek times and off in the rest. There is a world outside China.

Excellent pairing algorithm.

Very good platform

excellent game
