	Correspondence chess - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Correspondence chess is chess played by various forms of long-distance correspondence, usually through a correspondence chess server, through e-mail or by the postal system; less common methods which have been employed include fax and homing pigeon.
		While in OTB chess only one game is played at a time (the exception being in a simultaneous exhibition), in correspondence chess several games are usually played at once.
		Correspondence Chess servers are usually database-driven and carry with them a web-based interface for submitting moves to the database.

		The form of chess notation by using a combination of letters and numbers - a to h and 1 to 8 - which denote the 64 squares on a board.
		In correspondence chess of the very traditional kind by Snail-mail, such announcements when correct could potentially save a lot of time and money on stamps, if the opponent was generous enough to be influenced by such a correct announcement and not drag out the game any longer.
		Chess does not have referees or umpires, it has Arbiters for the enforcement of the rules, and Directors for the organisation of tournaments (a distinction recognized in America).

	List of chess engines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A chess engine is a computer program that can play the game of chess, it can also refer not just to a program, but to a whole hardware machine.
		However, usually the term chess engine is used to refer to a chess playing program that does not have its own user interface.
		Most chess engines use the common approach of attempting all possible moves from a given position and then choosing the best one with the help of a search (mostly alpha-beta pruning, which is an improvement over the minimax algorithm) and evaluation function.

	The chess games of Larry Melvyn Evans
		He and his column are practically chess dinosaurs both in terms of his focus and in the style he operates his column (responding to snail mail and some emails).
		Chess is a game and the level of devotion which you believe it requires are far beyond what I feel is healthy.
		I love you guys who somehow got it in their head that chess reduces you to the level of a heroin junkie or fanatic, and that every non chess player in the world is somehow continuing to persue their pristine and squeeky clean existence.

		This is the single biggest drawback to e-mail in correspondence chess, since there is no unalterable source of information comparable to the original postcard (which can be "altered", but the alteration is at least potentially detectable).
		Normally correspondence chess is played under the same rules, USCF or FIDE, applicable to over-the-board chess, except where not applicable to correspondence chess, such as touch-move and time control.
		Chess is a game requiring integrity, honesty and good sportsmanship of the players, postal chess even more so.

		A chess "rating" is supposed to give you an idea of how strong a player you are compared to other players.
		But Chess Express also maintains various other useful statistics so you can know whether you play better in quick games or long ones; how you perform playing the fl pieces; how you do with the white pieces; how quickly are you improving.
		The CXR ratings and statistics are only available through chess clubs and leagues, however, so if you haven't joined your local chess club, maybe now's a good time.
