Correspondence Chess

It's been two months now since I signed up with www.schemingmind.com , one of the several dozen sites dedicated to correspondence chess. So far, it has been such an enjoyable experience. The site allowed me to play against a variety of players I may never even get to meet in person. Although it requires somewhat a different discipline compared to live on-the-board chess games, it allows people like me who are interested in chess to pursue learning and improving on the game at my leisure, since there is no fixed schedule to follow (moves are timed, however, but each move has several days as deadline). The site also opens one up to a host of players who share resources and tips through private comments and open forums. So, if you happpen to be a chess afficionado or simply an occasional enthusiast like me, give it a try! :-)
