cChess is catchy, but derivative of iWhatever. eChess is not only derivative, but is the name of a competing site.

It's not derivative of iWhatever whatsoever. But funny how we all get different word associations from a word.

It's like 'Calendar Chess'. I would be expecting each month to see a new photo/page of staff posing for the members... Laughing

That's exactly what I had in mind when I proposed it.

No matter what YOU call it, i and everybody else i know will continue to call  it chess, the fact that you cannot come up with a satisfactory replacement ought to conclude the argument, if there was a need to change the name an ideal solution would present itself, yet try as you might.....

Actually you just called it long and short chess. I don't think you understansd what the purpose of this thread is.

Seriously, 'Long and Short Chess'?

Real catchy that is!   

Bex1p

For very obvious reasons that i normally wouldnt feel the need to explain, but in your case.....

I understand far more than you can imagine but not quite what makes you think that somebody with your intellect or lack thereof is in a position to make assumptions. I dont think you understand how you managed to stumble onto this site, probably on a search for cheese.

I would explain the purpose of the thread to you but you wouldnt get it, keep the silly names coming.

Who`s interested in catchy? im not being paid to do what the PR guys of this site clearly cant do, the only suggestions so far have been weak and cheesy and most of all pointless.

Are you gonna try to change the real catchy name of chess next too?

Erik is, why do you think this forum was started in the first place?

Ever notice the correlation between ratings and IQ.

Awesome idea! "King Quest: Thirst for Blood"

I said it several times, I prefer to keep the term Correspondence Chess, or if it must change make it cChess as I prefer tradition when it comes to the traditional classic never changing game of chess. 

But Erik wants a more relaxed catchy name for CC, I think we all worked that out by now.

You mean like Comfy Chess?

Assumed you had a high rating to say this... 

Another assumption I got wrong today...

cChess should be added to vote-panel.

CC will do for now, since no one has a clearly better label for it--if we're not in a hurry to replace it.

There is no correlation between IQ and rating whatsoever, many people with high IQ have got better things to do.
