I'm not going to lecture you about why you should enter the correct info, but please know you will receive information and game challenges using the email address you enter. Your name and email address aren't displayed to other users, I won't spam your email address, and I won't ever sell or give away your account information so entering fake info is pretty useless and may prevent you from receiving important information.

About rychess.com

Ry::Chess, Ry::GrandChess, and Ry::FischerRandom are all stable but may have some aspects which may be rough around the edges. If you find anything that isn't working as it should or if you have any comments or suggestions please use the feedback form linked throughout the Ry::Chess pages.

All of these games were created completely from scratch - everything from the implementation of the game rules to the game interface. I've put a lot of effort into getting the game logic and game play correct, but there may be things I've missed and if so I'd really like to know about it.
