it seems to me that I'm having trouble getting people to play games. Is it because I'm on Trial. Or is it the rating system or the time of the day?

Tiger, I did get to play a quick game with you and WOW. It was good to see you work. Maybe another game in the future after a little more experience.

I'm leaning toward to the Lifetime Membership. My main concern is people to play with. Majority of my games I have to wait & wait to play and then once we stop playing the first time the pace slows down. Is this normal?

Hello,

You can send public challenges with chess-time limit. Ordinary opponents in such battles to play faster. See you on the battlefield

if you purchase the full version i think you will find that many more people will be willing to play you. As it is, you are very limited in the planet and unit selection and probably most of the registered members don't have a lot of interest in playing those type of games.

Thanks for the tip that makes sense to me...
