Happy New Year!

My best wishes for the upcoming new year to all players and visitors. Health, peace and happiness to you and your families - and still more chess fun to you.

These are my plans for 2007:
- new server machine (soon!)
- new tournament types (auto-swiss, invitationals, team)
- last rounds of swiss tournaments
- community features
- improved interface (Ajax)

Don't mistake my recent "inactivity": I am working intensively under the hoods of playchess. Especially, I am developing an extensive set of tests. These are required in preparation of the move to a new machine and for new features.

Christmas holidays

I cleared all holiday balances, so everybody has the *full* number of free days available (Guests: 7, Standard members: 14, Premium members: 21 days).

Merry Christmas!

My very best X-Mas wishes to all players and visitors of PlayChess.

From tomorrow onwards you will be given some extra holidays and all member features will be available to guests, too.

Let us celebrate Christmas, now - no matter if you are Christ, Muslim, Hindu or Atheist (or whatsoever).
