Hello Sean , i am a chesscube routine user since feb 2010 and i joined it as a beginner with a rating of 950, from that day till now chesscube has been my only resource of chess, where i spend daily 3,4,5 hours, interesting thing is the fact that wheresoever else i tried to play chess other than chesscube , i didnt liked that, simply because , i started with the best !!!
things i love the most about chesscube are
1. friendly environment with so many rooms
2. live games of top players and other users
3. vip with sit n go tourneys (free

)
4. beautiful backgrounds with sounds ( i wish one day we get customizable backgrounds as well

)
5. friends with voice n video chat option
Things that i dont like 'that much'
1. no xp for unrated games
2. display pic is not adjustable (to view)( i never knew whats the best resolution pic that i should upload

)

thanks
