Who the heck was Dawn? I worked for Leisure LINC/USA TODAY for eight years and never knew anyone named Dawn. I don't recall ever meeting Don Maddox's wife and she certainly was not an administrator there. Where in the heck did that come from?
Actually, to be accurate, compwebchess is a viable alternative, and should not be overlooked.
Examples: compwebchess has 8 language options, phpchess only two. compwebchess offers annotations. phpchess does not. compwebchess offers private game notes. phpchess does not. compwebchess offers team competition. phpchess does not. compwebchess offers tournaments. phpchess does as well, but the phpchess version doesnt work. compwebchess offers thematics. phpchess is only in the planning stages of this feature. compwebchess has messaging and so too does phpchess. compwebchess has integrated forums, phpchess does not. compwebchess offers color themes, which can be set by the player...phpchess has skins, but can only be set by the admin. compwebchess is open source, and therefore free, phpchess is not..except, of course, for a very limited free version.
On the other hand, phpchess has some features which are better than compwebchess, or which does not exist.
a mobile client. drag and drop technology in piece movement real time games billing capabilites. better, nore secure coding.
The point is this: both these products have a place; it will depend on what the webmaster has in mind for his site in deciding which software to good for him.
I remember how everyone was drooling over Anthony Cozzie's results and "ZAPPA" in the World Championships last year and the confusion of why he wouldn't commericalize the program. No doubts now with Rybka distroying those once hailed as the STRONGEST ENGINES IN THE WORLD. Now, people have left Shredder and Fritz to sit on a shelf somewhere and collect dust because of 1 monster you all know as RYBKA. Infact the old consumers of Fritz and Shredder are so adulterous the sea of Rybka Clones on (C) accounts everywhere is enough to stop playing engine tournaments altogether on ICC. But it won't be long before someone reverse engineers and creates a subroutine or two of Vasik's ideas in their own program. You can't say it isn't being done. Staying power at the #1 spot on the SSDF and various world championship tournaments means $$ and sponsorships for the authors and they are ONLY human aren't they?! so why not just take a "peek or a poke". The oncoming months should prove interesting for computer chess; blood is in the water!
For sure ICC and Playchess are the leading Internet chess programs. But one site that many people overlook,(or have ever even heard of)is www.instantchess.com. This site is very descent and probaly could accomidate an FIDE 2000-2100 player. It is extremely easy to use, and it is basically free, just to play a game without an account. Having an account gives you statistics, your elo(im not sure how accurate it will be compared to FIDE) tournament, friends lists etc. You can get the standard subscription for $7.00 a month. Another allaround free game site is www.pogo.com ( once there just click on the chess link). This site is very well (made by EA games) done but is defiently more for begginer chess players, ( considering a 1600 elo at ChessBase could easily stand a chance of defeating a 2000+ master there). You have to consider that this site is more for anyone who wants to play any type of board games. The sight is free to sign up and does not require a subscription to play anything!
