Welcome to the international Correspondence Chess Server (CCS)
the place where you can meet players from all over the world. Moves are transmitted and recorded over the server so you only need a modern web browser with java script enabled.
You can play unrated or rated games, participate in individual or team tournaments, team matches and theme tournaments. Game moves are invisible to others until to the end of game. Computer assistance is allowed, as any other kind of help. We have included a new, innovative rating system, ratings are calculated promptly. Three different time controls allow you to choose a right tournament which mostly fits your playing habits. As portal member you can choose between several chessboard designs and sizes of pieces. 28 days of leave per calendar year stays at your disposal. All features offer a magnificent correspondence experience and top level competition for serious correspondence players!
Because we do care about our members, the membership is not time limited, but depends on the number of games on your account.
Even with one game left on your account you are treated as a full member of this portal - so you can focus on your open games!
As a member you will probably want to use other portal services: sending messages to other members, adding chess links, writing chess articles, etc.
We respect members privacy - you can also hide your info and block receiving messages.
No personal data is required nor are emails shown on portal. We do not delete member accounts, you can return anytime you wish.
