Which sites do you recommend for games against real people and/or computers?
Thanks in advance.

Do you mean live games or chess by email?
Can't recommend anything for the former, but can recommend the International Email Chess Club for email [url= http://www.chess-iecc.com/ ]http://www.chess-iecc.com/[/url] (live opponents only)
Was thinking of live games, but might give that a pop.
The suspense of waiting for the fatal blow after you've submitted a terrible move must be unbearable though.
Thanks.
.or having to wait for a reply when you play your carefully designed master stroke
I use Babas Chess to record moves and work out strategies - recommended, but if you try out IECC you get a try game and can chat with one of their mods. All very friendly and approachable

Chess.com is awesome for live games. Always between 7 - 10k players online at any one time so can always get a game. Depending on what you want, its free to play and you can also enter a limited amount of tournaments per week, plus they broadcast lesson lecture type things all the time. I play 5/0 Blitz games on my Android quite often. Sportsmanlike to asshole player ratio is fairly high: meaning I only get insulted for no good reason about 1 in 10 games (you don't even have to win (or surrender) to get called a "cheese eating surrender monkey"; if you do win, its always my mother who gets insulted ?!?). In fact, some of the insults are so entertaining its worth signing up for that alone (I might release a coffee table book of internet insults) 😀 But seroiusly, its no worse than anywhere else for hassle.
I know its a bit g*y, but if you want, you can add me on chess.com - I'm "Oldgwegg"
if you want to play games with people you know facebook has reasonable chess apps
