Adam DeSantis has very impressive online game stats

Adam's game summary statistics 2000-2013 and still going strong!
As you can see, Adam (aka "Mr. Chess") has played over 11,000 chess games at www.itsyourturn.com. These are games played one move at a time, much like correspondence chess. Adam has a pretty good win-loss ratio as well. Adam has tried all the chess variants and has played people from all over the world.

If you'd like to play a game with Adam, his handle is "kandahar". Ask him for a game and identify yourself and he will be likely to accept a game with you. Mention that you got the idea from this web site. Adam plays on here all the time, even very late at night. Be sure to make your moves at least every day or two, so the games keep moving along.
