Minutes or months per move. The board keeps the grudge warm.
A LETTER, OCCASIONALLY
The Quiet Missive.
The chess is free. Help us keep it that way. We will never sell your information. We may ask for a donation (never compelled). We may introduce a few companies we actually like. We may someday charge a very small fee for completely ad-free. Who knows — sign up and find out. Short, infrequent, occasionally useful.
