Javier Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 What's ChessTwitts and what does it do? As we all know, Twitter is the biggest thing since facebook, probably even bigger! so what is this "Twitter chess" thing? From their site: "ChessTweets is the newest generation of correspondence chess. ChessTweets uses the Twitter API to send chess moves remotely to your oppenent by using any of Twitter's versatile status update methods. With a Twitter account, play a quick game against a friend or start a correspondence game for free and without any registration required!" Personally, I think "correspondence chess" is a confusing term. For example, you can use chess tweets when travelling by bus or train, so you get on-line and play a game against someone thru twitter. It's a pretty cool idea, I still remember some long 10 hour train journies... my life would have been so much fun with this then! Games are saved and other people can view them online later and so on. You can use it to meet other chess players on the internet... You can't get blood from a stone, but hey, that isn't bad at all!
