IECG stopping

Today IECG announced that they will be stopping per 2010. The LSS Chessserver run by Ortwin Paetzold will more or less take over. Perhaps Thibault should advertise a bit at IECG for this server. :)

IECG stopping

Shocking news.... Email chess will miss to many players, I loved this way of playing too, server chess is just different.

The message at IECG home page :

"Due to the fact that email play declines quickly in popularity making it impossible to build tournaments in a reasonable time, and due to the practical issues of email (viruses, spam filters) making this playing mode difficult, IECG has decided to stop its operations in December 2010 and to transfer its activities to our partner the Lechenicher SchachServer Server (LSS) in the meantime."

A page of correspondence chess has ended.
