I want to see ChessConquest to survive and gain more new players. Do not like the other 4 dead chess sites.
Thanks for the info, ketchuplover.

1 more corpse is dragonheelslair.com ... a potential coming corpse is chesscorner.net

 geechan (2122)    24 Mar 2024 05:19:12

With so many dead chess sites, I wonder why ChessConquest is not getting any new players.

 ketchuplover (1355)    24 Mar 2024 17:09:15

lack of awareness of this site

 ketchuplover (1355)    24 Mar 2024 17:20:06

We're up to 36 players now

 geechan (2122)    24 Mar 2024 18:42:02

We need to increase the number to over 40 or over 50 players.

I've encouraged players at chesscorner.net to join here if that site dies

Hello ketchuplover.

 sorim (1173)    18 Apr 2024 03:07:32

is chesscorner.net also dead now?

 Yotta (1147)    18 Apr 2024 03:37:05

It seems so… unless they are just experiencing technical difficulties?

Hey, guys! The author of famous and popular chess variants is here.
The problem of dying chess sites is obvious - chess, especially in the correspondence game format, is a dying game. Thanks to various chess engines, this statement can be considered definitive. However, you can attract players to the site using chess variants that are not yet covered by chess programs. Moreover, it is worth offering users chess variants that are not available on monster sites such as chesscom and lichess.
As the inventor of chess variants, I can suggest you add any of them to your site. All my chess variants are not commercial and many of them, such as Grand Dice Chess, have saved several chess sites from dying.

Hello Pokshtya :-), and welcome to ChessConquest.

The idea of chess variants sounds intriguing.

I'm curious, do you have more variants that would you recommend that would be enjoyable for ChessConquest players? And where can we find more information about the rules of Grand Dice Chess?

I can't see my replay...
Maybe I wrote too much ;)

As I understand it, if I give several links to my chess variants, then my post is simply not displayed.

 Pokshtya (1031)    20 Apr 2024 05:19:27
