I haven't played in about a year. I have one friend that I play with when he is in town that is sort of a challenge...online I can find all kinds of people to kick my ass...or sometimes I win...but it's pretty meaningless to me when it's not face to face. Plus, there's a lot of cheating going on in online play...idiots using chess computers to help them win and such.
The game just isn't the same online. Like in all games, it's more fun to beat someone you know and respect than a stranger you will never meet.
