    How about "Survivor Chess"  since each game takes a good 39 days to complete

    Sorry for this one, "Geritol Chess" (spelling is probably wrong)

    Do you mean "Genitol Chess"?

    Interruptible?  Intermittent?  Casual?  Days-Per-Move?

    ...or the more snappy 'corrie chess'.  This could also refer to the British drama series which has been running for over 51 years - like some of the tournaments here seem to. Wink

    Maybe if you could narrow down what you're looking for (aside from the survey), it might be more helpful for suggestions. (?)

     

    Classic Chess  ??

    Yes there is a right name, and the mystery is why it is not called by it on this server.

    My guess is that you have been defending the "online chess" naming decision for so many years, that you have made up a lot of excuses for it.

    my PACED CHESS never made the cut.... damn. 

    I think cChess should be up there though.. it looks good, sounds good and represents what it really is, and  kinda marries in with chess.com.. both being short and sweet.. and just have under it in light grey small lettering (correspondence chess).. to explain what it is, but very subtly.
