Why haven't you listed my favorite online play site?

Question: Why haven't you listed my favorite online play site?

Answer:

We have the online play sites in two categories

  • Crossboard chess servers
  • Email chess servers

This is to differentiate the sites where you and your opponent are online at the same time ('crossboard sites') from the sites where you and your opponent may be online at different times ('email sites'). Most chess directories mix these sites in a single category, but we feel that the differences between the two types of online play site are important.

See the links to the right under Suggested Reading. Before you report a new site, please check both lists.
