After 10 years playing here, I'm leaving without regret.
User-unfriendly patches of May 2015 turned the site into annoyance and setting moves became more chore than fun. Tedious scrolling through long listings caused inflammation to my thumbs base joints which I can't have as professional truckdriver.
The second place on this site, the forum hell - which has been in the hands of trolls for many years - is just another reason to leave. It is beyond me how intelligent people choose to waste energy and lifetime by putting out this level of hatred into the world.
At last, you can't even play 960 here. Bobby Fischer was right with his approach of a new chess. In the 21st century I can't take any chess site seriously anymore, that does not offer 960.
