Give it time. You are probably one of the very first people to go there, and
everybody who is going there very early is seeing a few to no players and
leaving quickly. The same thing happened with ChessmasterLive many years ago,
and after a few weeks there were several hundred people there 24 hours a day.

I assume you mean DirectX? If so, then yes, DirectX 8.1 is required by the
program for both True3D boards and pieces and for Internet Play. It is an
installation option and you probably elected to not install it.
