64squar.es is a completely free, fully featured and easy to use online chess site with a clean simple interface.
Users can play opponents in real-time by dragging and dropping the pieces just like a real chess board. Ajax is used to make your moves on the opponent's board and vice versa. We are trying to blur the distinction between real-time online play and correspondence chess. If a user is not online when a move is made, they are sent an email. Other features: * Customize board color * In game chat * Take-backs * Avatars * Implementation of ELO Ranking * Email Notification 64squar.es is built using Ruby on Rails and Jquery. It also uses Juggernaut (a ruby on rails plugin http://juggernaut.rubyforge.com) to remove the need for polling to improve responsiveness and ease future scaling. We're planning exciting new features in the coming months. Check it out here : http://64squar.es. Sign up is completely free.
