Thank you for stopping by my little chess site. I built this site with one thing in mind; playing chess. Inside you will find a simple java chess server that supports turn-based chess play. Sign up is free, I ask only that you enjoy yourself and treat your opponents with respect. You do not need to download anything to play here. 

If you like to interact with your opponents I have included a link to the forums at the top of this page. Feel free to stop by and ask any questions you have about chess, or just say hello. The forums and chess server are hosted separately at this time so you will have to sign up for both. Please use the same username there that you do here.

Casual, tournaments and team based play are free to all who join. It is my hope to keep this site free to all users for as long as I can afford it. if the join button above does not work for you please use this link : http://www.athomechess.com/webchess/newuser.php?language=english
