Im sorry my friends but Yahoo SUCKS, I know from bitter experience.

I only play 1/1 or 1/0 there cause that seems to be the only way to
avoid ALL those damn cheaters.  I have now quit Yahoo and play on ICC
which is a real chess server. I can also recommend FICS if you don't
want to pay anything.

And BTW I think i might be one of the highest rated 'real' players on
Yahoo, my handle is Shuttlesworth4 and my rating is 2400-2500 I can't
remember.

But basically Yahoo sucks, so stop using it!!
