I use RedHotPawn primarily to play against a friend and colleague who lives in California. - Too far to use a conventional board, which otherwise would be a preferred method. As we play mostly against each other our rating does not go up that much. Hence I believe that my rating on RHP is an underestimate of my actual chess playing skills. Please feel free to prove otherwise.
