I have a MBP-R ( rMBP ) and I can`t get past the "nick name" screen either.
If I click continue , it will bring up a name ( ASCI ) that is random and load a bunch of games.
But as far as Chess showing up in GC , that has yet to happen.
Come on , all U experts , Help US out !!
Many thanks in advance.

PS:
Review of MacBook Pro / Retina ( with LG screen ) is still coming , first I have to get a few bugs out , but so far my Wk. 49 LG screen seems to be A-OK ( Now that I have ALL my fingers crossed I can`t type anymore ! ) LOL
