Go For The Gold Program Announced
http://www.worldchessnetwork.com

Thanks to WorldChessNetwork.com (WCN) enjoying quality chess on the Internet
is now affordable to anyone.

With the announcement of the Go For The Gold program WCN takes another great
stride in their goal to make quality chess and quality chess events
available to anyone in the chess community.

Go For The Gold will run from September 1st, 2002 until September 30th,
2002.   During the month of September everyone logging into WCN will become
a Gold Member, WCN's most comprehensive membership option.   All WCN Gold
Members enjoy full access passes to the many services provided by
WorldChessNetwork.com, including the ability to play versus titled players
in the innovative 'Master Challenge' events.  WCN Gold Members may also
participate in tournaments, chat with other players from around the world,
attend unique chess roundtables, and watch the world's best players go head
to head while discussing their moves (and thoughts) to the audience in the
now famous WCN trademarked 'Banter Chess'.

As if this incredible line-up of features wasn't enough, WCN has announced
four new features that will go live in September.

First, WCN will be introducing an exciting new event called "Community
Challenge".  This event combines the competition of Master Challenge with
the ability to involve a large group of Members in every game.  Community
Challenge is an interactive competition that provides Gold Members the
opportunity to "team up" and match their collective wits against one of our
WCN Site Professionals.

Second, WCN will be running "Multiple Tournaments" simultaneously!  This
enhancement, available in September, will enable us to administer many more
tournaments at various time controls and at each and every skill level.

Third, WCN are launching another new feature called "Classic Broadcast".
This feature will allow WCN to rebroadcast and provide live commentary on
any game in the WCN archives.  That means WCN will be able to do a "Classic
Broadcast" of any major chess match from around the world, or replay key
matches that were played throughout chess history.  WCN will even be able to
rebroadcast games played by our own World Chess Network members!

And, WCN's fourth new feature allows you to replay your favourite games for
other WCN Gold Members to watch!  The new "Explore Game" feature has been in
great demand and will certainly increase the fun factor on WCN.  Explore
Game lets members demonstrate their own games and variations to their own
audience, who will be able to add their own views and comments.  What a
great way to get feedback and improve your chess-playing prowess!

The free month of Gold Membership and added features are reasons enough to
visit WCN during September, but there is an even more compelling reason to
take part in Go For the Gold Month.   During the month of September an
annual Gold Membership will be � price or only $24.95 for a full year of
Gold Membership access to the Internet's fastest growing chess service,
WorldChessNetwork.com.

The first 500 people to purchase our Go For the Gold Memberships at $24.95
will have a chance to win one of 10 FREE Lessons from a WCN Site
Professional!

There will never be a better time to visit WorldChessNetwork.com.   Don't
miss out!
