Credits, the people
Chesspupil would like to thank the following people for their support of our site's development, both directly and indirectly, particularly during the early stages. They have contributed in some way or another -normally by means of their work- and asked nothing in return.
Almudi, Javier: He worked as a cosysop and created a MANGA graphics area for chessnia BBS.
Anton Alonso, Pedro: He's the amazing SPANISH LORDS programmer who made Chessnia BBS's first demo.
Belle, Francisco: Movera BBS Sysop. I owe him such a large amount of hours of help and work.... that I've lost count. He's a great worker, take my word.
Beltrán, Fernando: El Sol BBS Sysop. He gave me a hand setting up a few things on my BBS, never requesting anything in return. His BBS closed down, but he's a man who likes big projects, so he might have something coming up under his sleeve. ;-)
Benito, Guillermo: A great guy. He has worked as a cosysop and he has a very serious attitude when it comes to doing something for others.
Broomfield, John: One of my best friends. Part of the blame for "all this" is his! :-)
Canibano, José: He translated a few programs, and he did it terribly well.
Carreras, Jesús: For his contributions from the very first moment. He has sent more files to our system than any other user.
Dagnino, Carlos: Sysop from Rolling BBS, now extinct. He's a 14 year old wizard!
D. Córdoba : For everything...
Del Campo, Agustín: He always had faifth in me... Some day I'll compensate him. I still dont know how or when exactly, but the time will come! :-)
Drummon, Robert: For his original template design idea. This is his site.
Ehlert, Mike: He's the most famous Sysop in the whole world. Why? perhaps you should take a look at his page and learn what he does for other Sysops. www.pcmicro.com

Ginés, Pedro: He has lent us the rating lists which he makes, so that they're available to anyone who needs them.
Gómez Luesia, Jesús: A good friend. Programmer, outstanding graphic designer, ingeneer... never says no when it comes to lending a hand.
Grasa, Manolo: He made some Chessnia BBS stickers so that we could promote Chessnia.
Gutiérrez, Juan: This man needs no presentation. He's a pimp! I can's say a single favourable word about him!! :-)

The software
The following sofware has been used to build this website:
Ultraedit An excellent text editor. Microsoft has a a lot to learn...
1stpage 2 A fantastic (and free!) html editor. Version 3 should be available soon.
AceHTML pro Another nice and quick html editor. Shareware.
Dreamweaver Professional html editor.
Paintshop Fantastic image editor. I have built most of this site's graphics with Paintshop.
PS Animator Paintshop's brother. One of the most complete graphic animators.
Gif Animator Excellent animation tool which offers features not available with other graphic animators.
Photoshop Supposedly the best image editor available. It's also the most expensive.
Ikonboard The early versions of our forums were built with this software.
Invision board Programmed in PHP, a superb forum for websites.
Superlinks In my opinion, the very best links program.
Calendar Script An excellent events calendar for any website.
Chessbase Currently the best Chess Database Program available, improving with every new version. (until 8 and 9, that is!)
Roy A cool font color picker.
