PlayChess diary: Christmas presents

Christmas presents

Yes, Christmas time is near again. (are you surprised?)

Are you going on a leave to your relatives? No opportunity to play chess, but little time on your clocks? Don't worry: I have reset your counter of taken holidays; thus you can stop your clocks until you come back (the full 7 / 14 / 21 days are available).
At the beginning of 2004, all holiday counters will be reset again. Taking some free days now will not diminish your number of holidays for 2004.

But if you have no time (or money) for a holiday trip, you can (at least) enjoy yourself here at PlayChess: for the next two weeks, all players can use the functions that are normally reserved for paying members (with one exception: your game limit will not change). So feel free to click on all these links that are marked with a blue triangle.

By the way: wouldn't a PlayChess membership be a nice Christmas present? Maybe you should put it on your wishlist - and hand this list over to your parents or husband/wife?

Wow, thanks, Thomas!!!

That wasn't expected and this is a real Christmas surprise!!!

I feel some bitterness about this gift, because I'm a paying member (so I have all this features) and I have 14 days of holiday left (so I don't need them to be reseted). So I got nothing from my Thomas Claus.

But this is my personal feeling. And this bitterness is rather negligible, because I hope there are many others that will enjoy the gift. So, thank you, Thomas!

P.S. I'm truly moved by this act. Please don't see my post as sarcastic, though it looks like.

I love you all!!!

If you understand, things are as they are. If you do not understand, things are as they are.
