ANCL is one of the largest on line chess league; we play 90+5 slow matches,
we have our own rooms at playchess.com. The league is free to join.
All participants in the ANCL must have a full Playchess account (including a serial number), 20 slow games and a rank of knight or higher. Any player who has previously been found using assistance in rated games will be refused entrance to participate in the ANCL league.
we have a main site and a forum, at present there are 14 teams from all over the world, each team can have up to 12 members usually a captain and 1 or 2 vice captains.
Each week a line up of 6 players is made by captain to play against another team.
You then if chosen any given week, (you may well not play every week), use ANCL forum to arrange your match with your opponent agreeing on a time and day to play,
Also at ANCL we have a teaching school,simuls or lessons are given at playchess usually in room 5, where your participation /questions would be welcomed and answered, Lessons usually last for an hour each time, unless the teachers get so enthralled at the Questions they lose track of time.

All the above and more details can be seen at

Body language

On chessvibes I found a very interesting article on body language:http://www.chessvibes.com/columns/what-your-bodys-thinking-about/.There are a lot of psychological books on this field but in a scientific way can we find correlation between body and mind? This is a philosophical subject but I remember the late Tony Miles, who was always thinking with his hands around his head, looking in deep thinking, once in an interview he said that more than once he was only sleeping!
Playing on line can we get also some insight of our opponent thinking? What a long break between 2 moves means? A surprise? or simply a little rest to the kitchen, drinking a beer?
Have a look on Tal, a very expressive face!

  1. he he for me it could mean i am plucking my eyebrows, popped to the ladies room, made a cuppa or even a meal, if oppenent takes a little while to move, perhaps this is my downfall in my games, has i then think i have to move quickly has i may have taken to long, and the move i make is then in hast rather than giving it my full attention
