Testimonials
  • My name is Dan Stancu or Dan Schenker as friends call me when they see me playing guitar.
    I am a creator, a guitarist, a computer freak, a father, a husband, and well...a chess player. I have been playing chess all my life from the age of 5 and I treasure it with all my heart-being.
    In the chess realm I am known as King_of_Romania.
    There is no way I will go to any other chess applications or web sites. There are many reasons why you need to play chess properly but there are even more needs to be able to play chess and to enjoy playing it.
