After the success of "Chess.lt" this project has been improved: now it is possible to chat in this site. Creators of the "Logic games" developed an universal IRC server which allows the players not only chat, but also play one against the other and watch other playing. There will be the possibility to play in teams in the nearest future. The latest news of Logic games site - connection of old single player games with the server.
