| shor: Hi, i'm kinda new to chess, what is correspondence chess? -Shor |

| pawn52: <shor> First of all, welcome to this wonderful site. It is a sight to see isn't it? To answer your question, correspondence chess is chess at a much slower pace. Time controls are different too. Rather than have a set number of minutes, you have a set number of days to make your move. Because of that, correspondence chess is only played on the internet. Here are some good sites for you to start off on: http://www.schemingmind.com
http://www.gameknot.com
http://www.queenalice.com
And, if you like to play Correspondence Fischer Random Chess:
http://frced.tripod.com
I definitely recommend this site. I am actually a moderator on this site, so let me know if you would like to join and I can get the paperwork rolling. |

| shor: sure, sorry for the spam, but how do i send a messge to you? |
|

|
| pawn52: <shor> If that last post was meant for me, what do you mean? |
|

|
| pawn52: <Benzol> <Chess Champ> claims that he was a world correspondence champion up to 2003, but I have no way to confirm it and I have a hard time believing that. |
|
Feb-06-05
|
| pawn52: <Benzol> Just a minor correction
H Berliner was champion from 1967-1971. As for the 11th World Correspondence Champion, it was Fritz Baumbach from 1981-1984. Take a look for yourself: http://www.ottawachessclub.com/patz... |

| shor: in some sites you can send a private message to admins to ask questions and stuff, is there such an option here? |
|
Feb-06-05
|
| Benzol: <pawn52> Thanks mate. The Craig Sadler site is very interesting. I got my original info from Tim Harding's book on the first ten correspondence championships. Unfortunately I haven't had the time to play all the games yet. |
|
Feb-06-05
|
| pawn52: <shor> You can send messages to the moderators of the FRCEC site, but it isn't "private" because this site doesn't have the features like schemingmind.com has. Btw, do you even know how to play FRC? |
|
Feb-06-05
|
| pawn52: <Benzol> Anytime, if you need anymore info, holler and I'll see if I can find it. |
|
Feb-06-05
|
| Benzol: <pawn52> Did you volunteer to be a biographer.
The only two I know of are <iron maiden> (bless him) and myself.
If it is only the two of us it's going to take a bit of time. LOL.
:) |

|
| pawn52: <Benzol> No, I didn't. But now I wish I did. Can I still get into it. |
|
| Feb-06-05 |
| shor: RFC?
no, I play magic the gathering. |
|
Feb-06-05
|
| Benzol: <pawn52> I don't know if you still can but I would suggest contacting <chessgames.com> by e-mail to see if it's possible. |

| TheEyeOfMordor: Who is the Correspondance Champion now? It has been some time since 2002... |
|
Feb-06-05
|
| pawn52: <Benzol> I just e-mailed <chessgames.com> about volunteering for the effort. Hopefully I'll hear from them tomorrow. In the meantime, I'm going to hit the sack after I take care of some business on my computer. It's coming up on 2:00 AM Mountain Time. |
|

|
| pawn52: <Benzol> Btw, I've literally been covered up with so much junk on my computer It's not even funny. But I'll save that story for another day. I am upset that I lost two UCCCT games and my lead in the tournament because of the internet connection problems. |
