  • Public chess games invitations – When you send a public invitation everyone is invited to play with you, or anyone else can invite you to play along with everyone else. As soon as someone accepts this type of invitation, the invitation is cancelled and the area is seen as public.
  • The way a chess invitation is accepted or rejected – It is possible to cancel a chess invitation made to you by clicking on "Reject."
