Hello everyone!

I may have asked this before, a looooong time ago, but I ask it again.

I'm a fairly competent chess player, and I want to get some competition over the Net for practice and whatnot. I know the PGN notation (standard chess notation used in matches) and I do have MSN, so I can play that way...but are there any sites/programs that make chess accessible for folks like us? I've always wanted to play some of the AI chess programs to see how bad I could wail on them, not to mention wanting to see if there were any accessible games that I and a sighted friend could play over the net. A lot of the ones I've thus far come across are hideous and java-based, and Jaws seems to hate them.

Any help would be very much appreciated.
