Chess Conquest - South African social chess website

Simon, not to disappoint you, but to complete a game in one sitting is rare. The cool thing about Chessconquest is that you make your move within the time limits set for the game. This works for the majority of the players registered.

I play mostly on my iPad, whenever I can, but the demands on my time do not allow me to carve out a full couple of hours to complete a game. This site really works for me. I am totally hooked and if you give it a chance I'm sure you'll be as well.

To share some stats with you guys. We did a ChessConquest player experience survey a couple of months ago to see if we are on the right track with our game play design:

70.6% of players prefer to play turn based chess (1 or 2 days per move). Only 17.6% of players are interested in Blitz Chess (10 or 20 minutes on the clock). 41.2% of players did however indicate they would like to complete games in one sitting (2 or 4 hours on the clock).

These results made us rethink our design about providing a feature where complete-in-one-sitting games can become a reality on the website, for players wanting to play such games.

I sound a bit like a parrot, but version 2 will improve things a lot. If we could now just somehow find a way to clone developers to increase the development speed

And finally, it is possible to cheat in chess... if you're playing in person, and the other guy isn't taking notes, and you're able to successfully snag one of his pieces while he isn't looking. If the other person doesn't notice the missing piece, that would constitute a successful cheat

Lol... that actually happened to me in the past while playing FTF (face-to-face) games with friends...
