I'm hoping i can get 4 years (at least!) out of this 3-year membership. My last renewal was for 2 years but thanks to prizes in STtourney and 45/45 league I managed to make it last 3 years. And trust me, after 10 years here, it is worth every penny. The only place where you get to watch the top players in the world, learn at your own pace, and strive to become better is the Chess Club.

The software had arrangements to try to detect players using the assistance of chess programs. Royal members could use non-Chess Live interfaces to connect to the server, such as Thief 1.1, Winboard, or countless other interfaces. At the end there were two versions of the client available: version 4.2.00, an installed program and version 2.5.1, implemented in Java and that could be run from virtually any Internet-connected computer with a Java-enabled Web browser. Registered users used a client to connect to the server. There were a range of paid and voluntary staff positions to ensure the smooth and effective running of the system. In addition to providing Internet users the opportunity to engage in games of chess with others, Chess Live also provided free lectures on skill and tactics to improve one's ability at the game.Ĭhess Live also included instant messaging features and the ability to chat with other users in IRC-like public chat rooms. Higher levels of membership included more features, such as the ability to observe or participate in certain tournaments often held on the server. There were three membership options: Trial, Basic, and Royal Basic and Royal levels required periodic payments.
