Hello Ralph, I'm very pleased to meet you. I don't know much about Internet chess so I wouldn't know what sites to recommend. FICS is I believe the best known free site. Jeroen van Dorp here has an extensive list on his pages http://zip.to/jeroen. But I see that he already beat me to it in answering here! Don't know much about monopoly on the Net either, I'm afraid . I looked at http://www.msoworld.com/ , all sorts of mind-games and they have a search function at http://www.msoworld.com/links/pages/ where I typed in "monopoly" I got a link to a nice site in Finnish about several games but it was a bit hard to read. Also a link to the official monopoly manufacturers site at http://www.monopoly.com/ Not much about Internet playing but it did have a monopoly screensaver and some nice stories. At Yahoo I found that if you purchase the monopoly computergame CD-Rom that does have a capability for Internet play but nothing seemed organized on a large scale. It seems you would further need a program called Westwood Chat and a patch for it. On these sites there was some more information: http://www.geocities.com/~chance98/Aeriell/monopoly.htm http://www.westwood.com/techsupport/faqs.html Here was a site were the CD-Rom was on sale: http://www.hasbrointeractive.com/hi/product.cfm?brand=12&product=44036 At Yahoo (http://www.yahoo.com/) they also have places were people interested in particular games can get into contact with one another, they call them clubs but they are more chatroomlike; at http://clubs.yahoo.com/Games/Computer___Video_Games/ it is possible to type in "monopoly" in the search function. For instance at http://profiles.yahoo.com/stratcar there is one person who organizes one of these "clubs" this one for playing monopoly on the Internet. This all seemed rather U.S. based. Well, I just wanted to see if I could find something. I wish you much success with your correspondence chess which I heard you play at a very high level, for the Australian Olympic team too! Sorry about the Pretty Park virus! Eelco
