Correspondence Chess is LIVE!

Submitted by erik on Sun, 07/08/2007 at 4:08pm.

Chess.com has finally launched correspondence/turn-based chess! We are calling it "email chess" so that everyone understands that it is turn-based and you can choose to get an email when it is your turn. Or, just stay online and get an alert when it is your turn to move. Play a whole game in 5 minutes, or take 2 months. It's up to you and your opponent!

What are you waiting for!?

Click here to start playing chess!

*sigh* do you know how much space it take for a super engine?!?!

Not many people know this but in Kasparov v.s. Deep Blue, Kasparov only lost one game!! 1-draw, 3-losses, 2-wins.

And to marry the engine to chess.com so it can read the opponents moves?!?! that takes real hacking and real brains

It does sound cool! I hope however that if tournaments do happen the rules are well thought out and there is an abuse team in place to make sure participants play fair and don't use a super engine to clobber everyone.

Yeah, this is GREAT! I have already started a few correspondence games and everything looks very nice.
