Lin Shih-wei, a member of the Peitou chess club who plays at level 5, says that you can find opponents on the Internet 24 hours a day, so you don't have to waste time on trips to the chess club just to find out there's no one around you want to play against.
棋力五段的松山棋會會員林世偉也認為，在電腦上二十四小時隨時都可找到對手，不再像過去跑棋社找人下棋，常常空跑一趟。
