Kibitzer's Corner
Nov-24-14  ljfyffe: Member of the German team that won the ICCF Olympiad XII Final (1998).
Apr-04-25  Gottschalk: Correspondence players should have two ratings listed: the FIDE rating and the ICCF rating. The best reference for strength play, however, always is the FIDE rating.

It should be noted that some of these players only compete in postal chess. In this case, the ICCF rating becomes even more necessary, so that there is some reference to strength.

Apr-04-25  Nosnibor: Correspondence games seem to attract more drawn matches. Presumably accuracy plays an important part having no chess clock to adhere to.
