What is GameKnot? We are an online chess community where you can play chess online whether you only have 10 minutes to spare or the whole day. Either way, you are guaranteed a good exercise for your brain and you'll have fun too! No additional software to download, free registration, online chess at its best. You choose when to move and how often to move, and you don't have to finish the games in one sitting -- they'll be waiting for you the next day. If you prefer serious competitive chess, you can also take your time and ponder your next move for hours. You can even play at work, while doing other things or whenever you get bored!
If you prefer fast real-time games, try our Blitz Chess.<new> We offer several ways to compete and win: chess league, bi-monthly tournaments, mini-tournaments, teams and more! We also have a very helpful online chess games database.
