You should go here: Chessnet.com/Chess.net (don't remember which one), I think you can only be a guest unless you're willing to pay some small registration fee, but it's a great chess site; much less cluttered as compared to our friends at Yahoo. Also, you'll find more evenly matched opponents, in Yahoo it's common to have a grandmaster come down to the novice rooms and immediately begin spanking everyone in the feeble attempt to feel better about having a small penis.
