John,

If you are looking for a few suggestions, here are some of mine:

1.Create a downloaded chess interface that looks like the default Fritz 7 chess
board.

2. Have a seek for putting up a game.

3. Have a sought for viewing games available.

There are certain attractions of playing internet chess like saving games to a
database for study and enjoyment. It is also interesting to see who is available
for a game. I went to the PlayZone chess site but couldn't see who, if anyone,
was available. I also don't care much for the chess board - kind of small for me
with the white too bright. Again, something like the Fritz 7 default chess board
would be ideal. Okay, I'm spoiled. However, I have to say that the chess board
is very important to me for playing chess on the internet. The only two chess
sites that I enjoy are U.S. Chess Live and the ICC. Blitzin is an excellent
interface. The U.S. Chess Live interface is also nice and with a delightful
female voice saying check and checkmate.

I like the idea of starting with an ELO of 2000, but in my case, well, it
wouldn't last very long. Just like skiing, it would be all downhill after the
first game. :-)
