myChess.de combines the idea of playing chess over great distances with the possibilities of the internet: you can play games of Chess or Chess960 via e-mail or log in to myChess.de, retrieve your data and play from any computer in the world.

In addition to enjoying the game, the social component of chess has been taken into account, so myChess.de provides various means of communication such as a forum for discussions. From the other players´ contributions in the forum you will be linked to their profiles and games directly. You can see whether other chess players are online, arrange and organise your own single- and team tournaments and, of course, take part in tournaments, browse the myChess-Wiki and much more...

Another innovation of this programme is a versatile game search engine with which you can search the myChess.de database for particular openings (ECO), positions (FEN) or series of moves (PGN) or our chess theme library which already contains more than 2.000 openings or: Live-Chess-Modul for all who like playing a little bit faster.

To develop the programme further and improve it we find it especially important to have close contact and active communication with the players.
