TopicThe Rybka Lounge / Chess / Redhotpawn a laughing stock? (locked)
These casual servers for playing chess attract all kinds of people. Reading through some of the following sites, the site is having a bit of drama at the moment.

The Queen's Gambit is creating quite a buzz right now and increasing participation in online chess. So if you now have chess-curious friends, let them know about Red Hot Pawn Chess. Correspondence style chess is a great way to introduce someone to the game. Start playing: https://www.redhotpawn.com. Here is my username for other chess websites (if you want to friend me): My Lichess username: eleung. My ChessKid username: BigMindlessTadpole. My Red-Hot Pawn username: IM OminousOmen. My GameKnot username: gmedanleung. My chess24 username: EdanLeung-ChessBot. MY ICC (Internet Chess Club) username: eleung. If you want to friend me I will.

People are complaining of being harassed by the forum mods
If one is to play chess alone and not participate in the forums then Redhotpawn is a good choice. However for the many that play chess and also participate in forum discussions, then Redhotpawn is not the place for you if you will be subjected to harassment and bullying even from mods. The case of Jie is interesting as he appears to have been banned from Redhotpawn just for starting a blog, so much for “free speech”.
It looks as if the guys who run Redhotpawn are trying to impose themselves on Wikipedia the way they run their website. Its is against Wikipedia rules to create a username in the same way as an existing page and to attempt to edit the page. Do they want to use Wikipedia for promotional purposes?
who are you anyway?
Hmm, by the looks of it, I think, there's a very high probability that he's e2e4.
Not sure. But I am certain he is not Kappatoo.
that's clever of you guys, but I also play at RHP and was asking what was his handle there.
Ok, you could have asked 'What is your handle at RHP?', 'who are you anyway?' begs for replies like the ones you got :)
Was completely obvious that he was asking for his RHP handle. Being more specific should not have been necessary.
I do believe that your assumption that he was begging for harrassment-style replies shows you to be one of the types that causes so much trouble at RHP.
I'm not at RHP, we were attempting at some forum humor, sorry.
And this is what leads to those RHP flamewars. The road to flames is paved with 'harmless' intentions.
anybody know Tinkering_Fool ?? he's troublemaker.. pretty sure he is one of them and his friends..and also they did play at playchess. they are very good on two faces..

I'm a member of just about every chess site on the internet,including most pay sites..ICC,Instantchess,Gameknot,USCF and more.I do play on RHP occassionally and on rare occassions..UChess.Basically,what I have discovered is:Stay out of the forums!Especially on blitz sites!
Too many trouble makers in those forums.Try and make intelligent conversations and the 'animals'come out from under the rocks!UChess was soooo bad a few years ago,that they took away the forum completely!
Uchess is still the worse,however,since one player who I believe is also the site owner(who also places himself in the top rating spot)keeps control of his 'throne'by intimidating players through messaging and then deleting players claiming that they are cheating.He does this by using a program himself,and if you defeat his program..he deletes your profile from the site!Hmmmm..I call that,hypocrisy,wouldn't you?As to RHP..well,that certainly isn't as bad as UChess and i'd rather go on that site.I'll stick with Instantchess for blitz.It has alot of strong players from around the globe,especially Russian,since the site originates out of Moscow.Alot of features and alot of visiting GM's..something that RHP and UChess do not have.. Oh..and one more thing..chatting in the forums has destroyed many a player!How?On certain sites,especially Gameknot,if you step out of line just alittle,or make a bad comment in the forums or your blitz game,you don't get a warning,you just get banned,even right after paying your 40 dollars for the year!Now,alot of players know this,so what they do is play 'psyc' games with you,especially if they were beat and lost rating points from you.They make a small intimidating comment,whether in the forums or during a blitz game or in your messaging system.Then,if you lose your temper(they hope so)you might end up saying something back to them alitlle worse and then they puss out and complain to the site administrators and you end up getting banned!Its a game that poor sports have been playing for years.I stay out of all forums directly related to the chess playing sites i'm in.I've been banned a few times on various sites,but i have never initiated the problem.I get a new/used computer every year,so I xcan return to the site again with the different IP address,but i have learned..stay away from the forums.hey,if i ever get banned from this forum,its no big deal,but i hate to wait another year to return to a playing site!
I agree with what you are saying Joey888 as I personally stay away from the forums but, the reason forums are attractive to correspondence players is that you can talk to others in the forums, while you wait for your opponents to move. If the forums have animals rather than people then those who run it need to rethink their strategy.
Oh,don't get me wrong e2-e4.I think forums,especially ones like this are pretty good.But I never liked the idea of knives shooting my way all the time for no good reason.Most of those 'knives',however,actually are born in the actual blitz games on most sites.I have had to paste and copy atleast 50 players intimidating remarks in the last 2 years(after i said not a word to them),and use them as evidence incase of a future problem with the site administrators.Some sites,however,are way too touchy in the forums,and thats another reason i stay out.I know a few players that accidently just 'mentioned'the name of another site to compare features,and the message was deleted and the players forum privileges were revoked(on Gameknot).
Well,i'm really only on this site to get my Ryb 3 set up to optimum performance,but i noticed this forum string about a blitz site,so I thought i'd put my small 2 cents in!
It now appears from Cludi's (Cludi is an ex-game mod booted from Redhotpawn for alleged cheating) blog that there is a slanging match and that the game mods were accusing each other of cheating before the game mods were disbanded. Some guy from Eastern Europe named Korch is an ex-game mod now under investigation for cheating. Cludi was the winner of the championship but was stripped of the title and the title was awarded to English Tal. English Tal was banned for cheating and the title awarded to an ex-game mod called Gatecrasher. It turns out that Korch accused Gatecrasher of cheating in winning the site championship. The merry go round does not stop there. It implies that top players on the site, whether they are game mods or not may use computer assistance.
BTW, why was the redhotpawn page on Wikipedia deleted? Was there a fight going on or did the redhotpawn people continue using the username 'redhotpawn' to edit the page on Wikipedia which is against the rules?

1. It practices on both sides of the brain

In a German study, researchers showed simple geometric shapes and chess positions to chess experts and novices and measured the responses of subjects to their identification.

They expected the left brain of the experts to be more active, but they did not expect the right hemisphere of the brain to do the same. Their response times were the same in normal sizes, but experts were using both sides of their brains to respond more quickly to chess position questions.

2. Chess improves key thinking skills

As a game based on processing a combination of logic and a myriad of possible combinations that run at once, it is tailor-made to employ the functions of your brain.

There are many studies that show how chess can increase your thinking power. One way is to do with pattern recognition. Studies by former world champion Gary Kasparov showed how quickly a player of his caliber gained recognition.

It has also been shown that better chess players use both sides of the brain to make decisions, part of the brain’s visual information processing to find patterns, and the analytical aspect is involved in taking the best logical steps.

Other studies highlight the interesting fact that the brains of elite athletes are actually smaller than those of bizarre experts, perhaps pointing to “local contraction” to increase neural skills.

3. This can boost your IQ

Chess has always been an image problem, seen as a game for people with brains and already high IQ. So the situation with chickens and eggs has been a bit: do smart people pay attention to chess, or does chess make them smarter?

At least one study has found that wandering around these knights and stems can actually increase a person’s intelligence. After the 4,000 chess instruction, Venezuela’s 4,000 students saw a significant increase in the IQ scores of both boys and girls studying.

4. It protects ALZHEIMER’S

Since the brain works like a muscle, it needs no biceps or quad exercises to heal and protect from injury. A recent study in The New England Journal of Medicine found that people over the age of 755 who were involved in brain-expanding activities such as chess were less likely to have dementia than their board-non-game-play peers.

Just as untrained muscles tend to lose energy, research author Dr. Robert Friedland discovered that unused brain tissue reduces brain energy. So it’s more of a reason to play chess before the age of 75.

5. The players succeed

The 2012 USV survey also found a clear correlation between being a regular chess player and the different measures of achievement & success. 78% of active chess players are university graduates.
