How is Yahoo chess these days?

I used tp play on yahoo all the time about 2 years ago, but then it got annoying.
When they brought in the new ranking system ppl went berserk.

Ya, I my win/lose ratio was about 10:1. But I never disconnected, I would take the beatings.
It got annoying when they introduced the new rankings, because after a guy beat you, he would not go and look for a new player, he would immediatly try to start a new game with you.
I was a good sport, but if you thrashed me in a game, you should go look for a challenge instead of playing someone you know you can beat easily.
I'm too scared to start playing online again. I havent touched a chessboard in over a year.

Edit: what room are you in, maybe we can play a game....

redhotpawn.com

EDIT:

So I am busy playing this guy from Albania... he is looking for a quick game (not Blitz however)... so it takes me a couple of minutes to get used to the interface... (oh, and the fact you have to refresh constantly to see a change

)

He even messages me to tell me to hurry up... half an hour later he is getting into trouble and his replies take longer and longer... I'm waiting 15 minutes already and nothing... n00b

Windows Vista has chess if I am not mistaken.

Has anyone played it?

How is it compared to chessmaster??

Is anybody willing to perhaps post a diagram or two of a game of theirs? (With chess notation of course) Will be interesting to know how good every player here is.
I'll post one or two of my favourites from high school... soon as I find my old chess notation book where I wrote all my games.

Chess is so mentally stimulating that it makes one lose one's sanity
, turning into an opening/endgame maniac dat they lose theirs minds. Stop playing the game now... save yourselves from insanity and the loony bin. No chess analysis

Just being a nuisance
