I was having a problem playing correspondence chess on ICC
But have now found chess.com is a good place to play correspondence
Apparently several hundred thousands of players of all strengths
Good for taking time to learn endgames
Or trying out new openings
recommended
The picture is my (current) favourite chess set
Purling classic red and white pieces with a House of Staunton board
The position is the first puzzle from Aagaard's Calculation
It's more fun working with a chess set you like!
