About:
SORRY. WE ARE ONLY TAKING APPLICATIONS FROM FRIENDS OR FAMILY OF OUR MEMBERS RIGHT NOW, PLEASE DO NOT APPLY UNLESS YOU CAN NAME A MEMBER WHO WILL SPONSOR YOU.
We are a group who will adhere to rules of fair play, and, so called "old fashioned" principles. We do not believe once a game has started, any reference books (open books, databases. outside help etc) should be used, even when the game is dormant, to gain an unfair, and outside advantage over your opponent. We have been informed this action is allowed under the rules of this site, and the rules of correspondence chess; however, this group is for people who do not feel comfortable playing with, or against these tactics. We are not saying they are wrong for everyone, just for this group. The old fashion rules of face to face, over the board chess suit us, and we would like people of similar views to join us. We can study all we want, just not use references during a current game, with the hope of gaining any advantage..
