Should we regard it as just a CTF substitute? Can we do general computer chess too?

Welcome,

This forum is a replacement what once was called the Chess Thinkers Forum. You can continue your talks here. Once the forum has enough members moderator elections will take place.

The forum software (for the first week) comes with a limitation of posting links, this to avoid spamming, thereafter you should be able.

Thanks for setting this up Ed, do we have a way to embed chess games yet? Very Happy

Do you mean graphical EPD and PGN display ?

I can look if the forum software can handle plug-ins.

It's a bit different here, this forum isn't on my own web space.

Yep. I meant exactly that.

Okay cool. If worse comes to worse and we need it, I'm happy to host a forum which does allow plugins.

Are you willing to implement it here?

Provided the forum software allows it that someone else as the Admin to make changes.

I made 3 changes:

1. You can post links. Disabled the one week member option.

2. Disabled the dislike button, is asking for trouble.

3. Enabled HTML code for the moment to do some experiments.

I almost never used the CTF forum, but as soon as it's gone, I'm missing it. Very Happy

Is it possible to have a computer chess match forum. Or just post all to computer chess?

I don't know what the demographics of this forum are but I think it would be a good idea to have a forum dedicated to chess itself and a forum for general gaming.
