I've been looking for a way to learn Diplomacy for some time now - the controls feel a bit cumbersome but after just using the sandbox for an hour or so, I have a far better introduction than I've gotten from just reading primers. Nice work.
Try the DAIDE project: you can play Diplomacy against AIs. Works pretty well nowadays. Press options are still limited.
Thanks for this! I didn't know it existed. It might help me enjoy the mechanical aspects without the angst of politics. ;)

On http://www.vdiplomacy.com/ you can play 2-player variants. This turns it into a pure tactics chess-like game.
Also, gunboat style (no communication possible) is quite popular online.
