Game Servers that host Chess

There are a lot of gaming services on the internet that have a version of chess available. These are usually very nice interfaces with few players, or players on the young, immature and obnoxious side. Yahoo Chess is very popular, but you do have to wade through the weirdo's looking for members of the opposite (or sometimes same) sex. These services either have their own specific interface that you download or use Java, which most browsers have these days. All of the game servers on this page are free.

Game Servers:

  • Microsoft Gaming Zone - Now works with either Netscape or Internet Explorer. It is a great place to play chess with others.
  • GNU WebChess - The freeware GNU Chess adapted for play on the web! Play against the computer using your own web browser.
  • Yahoo! Games - Play Java-based games against others. Great chess interface!
  • Game Colony - Hosts many games including Chess with lots of chess links!
