If you want to play chess online but you don’t want to pay for it, then you can try several websites. First you can try at instantchess.com, which is an amazing website for playing chess online and which is completely free. Logging in is quite easy, by using Facebook, which is another advantage since it gives the opportunity to create new contacts and to arrange friendly chess tournaments.
You just log in the social network, join instantchess.com and play a few games with whoever you choose. Then you become friends on Facebook and arrange a new game in instantchess.com after a few days. That’s why this website is such a good place for playing chess online.
Another good website which offers some really good conditions for playing chess online is gameknot.com. Actually, this website is one of the biggest websites for playing correspondence chess online and it offers the opportunity to play blitz chess – each game is 10 minutes. Since there is no rating system for blitz chess at this website, you might find yourself playing against a much weaker opponent which is a disadvantage but it happens quite rarely.
The third website for playing chess online which we recommend is chesshere.com. Exactly as in gameknot.com, this place for online chess offers mainly correspondence chess online, but there is also a special version for playing online. You can choose opponents with a rating close to yours or if you are really lucky someone stronger might agree to play with you. Of course, the latter happens quite rarely, because if you happen to win, the stronger opponent will lose points from his rating which is quite unpleasant.
These are our three suggestions for playing chess online and they are just a small part of all the websites where you can play and develop your skills.
