Single Comment

We keep minimal information on our members and registered users. When you register, you get to choose your own User Id. A valid email address is required when you sign up, and it will later be used to send you moves in games you are playing and to notify you of comments posted to your contributions to the site. Your email address gets displayed as two separate form elements to help hide it from spammers. Once you have registered, you may delete your address if you don't want it visible. Being registered with us is mainly for your benefit. It gives you the ability to confirm your identity where this matters, such as posting comments, making moves in games, and voting in polls. It also allows us to list all your contributions to the site in one place. From your profile, someone may see listings of the games you have created, the pages you have authored, and the comments you have written. If you have any further questions on registration, contact David Howe, who wrote and maintains the software we use for registering users. Note that register@chessvariants.org is not one of the actual email addresses for our site. The line that says 'or send email to register@chessvariants.org' should be removed, because that address does not exist. But it is up to David to handle this.
