Chesspark Announces Free Accounts and Pro Accounts
April 2, 2008 – 1:57 am
Chesspark is entering a new phase - we are now providing free accounts for users who want to meet and compete with chess players in standard chess games. We recognize that some parts of the globe may have Internet access but that subscriptions are just not possible. So we welcome you casual players and hope that you will find as much joy in this game as we do.
We are offering premium services for more serious players who do subscribe, including tournaments and access to all of our variants: Atomic, Chess960, Crazy House and King of the Hill (and more on the way). We also enable Pro “Green” users to make groups and teams, and we will be expanding out competitive schedule throughout the year. Stay tuned….
Make Chesspark Your Park.
