I didn't think there were that many!

I play on chessWorld.net. You could play hundreds of games on the one site, why so many? & do you have to pay for the priviledge of getting a grade? Chessworld is free for first timers but after a while its better to pay.

I've been to many up & coming real-time sites, where you play for free, but as soon as they've gathered a few hundred players, they want money!
When you buy a fritz CD you get a 1 year membership of playchess.com. But chessbase allow some countries free entry. I'm lucky to be a member of the Scottish association & can play for free. It's a good site - they don't have adverts. They have lots of chat sites, but you can turn them all off. What I especially like it their map of the world where you can see lights for all the players. Some players pretend to live in the ocean or the north pole - they're usually Germans.

? ? all the best, siegrun
