Play Chess Online

If you enjoy chess, but don’t have the time to complete a game, or if you don’t always have an opponent, try this online version.

It is the only chess game ever created in flash - a great resource for those who want to learn to play chess.

flashCHESS makes it easy to learn to play chess. When you click on a piece, squares light up to indicate all legal destinations for hat piece. Simply click one of the legal moves, and the move is made. The computer then makes its move, and the game continues,

If you want to stop playing, click save, and return to continue play later. This version of chess is called flashCHESS. Click to play. It will also be included on the links page under “Fun and Games”

If you have projects where you have need for a few sheets o graph paper, you may be interested in this site that I found. By inserting data into a form indicating sheet size, grid spacing, border sizes, etc., the program will generate a PDF file that you can print out on your printer.

Open the file using Adobe Acrobat and print.

Just be sure to print at 100% to preserve the scale. The program is available here

Today, I loaded this website into Internet Explorer 6.0. It was a surprise to say the least. I knew that IE6 was not standards compliant, but had no idea that fact could so adversely affect the rendition of this site.

That alone is reason enough to switch to Firefox, a standards compliant browser. Another reason is the still unpatched recent problems with the Microsoft product.
