Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

How do you challenge a specific user? I'm trying to set up a game with Gimme Medals but can't locate her when I go through the search process, as is the case with everyone over there ------> I've tried to find. I keep ending up issuing challenges to random users. :-)

Click on New Game then choose option Create Challenge, click on Random icon then on Usernane & type in GimmeMedals & the magnifying glass option - user should come up for you to confirm.

Goofee, on the app it's:

Play - New Game - Play a Friend - Find Friend
Or
Play - New Game - Custom Game - Vs.

and then search by name in the box. I am assuming though that GM is actually 'GimmieMedals' rather then 'Gimmie Medals' as per the sidebar here.

Having said that I'm unable to find GM (smiles at the 'Grand Master' coincidence) myself at this point, this may be because we're currently mid-game.

Cheers guys - I've found 'GimmeMedals' but it says their rating is too high for me to challenge, I can't find 'Gimme Medals'. Ah well, I'll concentrate on the games in progress!

You can change the game type to unrated & it should let you issue the challenge

I'd be up for a chess ladder, and I couldn't find Gimme Medals either.

I've just signed up for the chess.com to have a look round. I'm DeeGee42195 on that. Might be persuadable to have a game. I've played a bit, but I'm no Grandmaster Flash.

I also thought about playing after watching Queen’s Gambit. I don’t own a board and have realised I failed to teach my children the moves. However that’s about all I know, how each piece moves. I’ve tried a couple of apps, including Dr Wolf who has some tutorials, but I’ve gone through the free ones. Still fairly incompetent though! I’ll practice some more before trying a proper game.
