You old-timers are funny. Arguing about whether a word is correct or not. Like who decided that? TOFPOOE - The Old Fart People Organization of Earth.

 

Anyway, my vote is for Daily Chess. Correspondence Chess probably sounds cool to those old enough to remember using the telegragraph.

You youngens make a big deal over nothing, and want to make everything sound like a playstation game. :p   Just KIdddingggggggggggggg :)

CORRESPONDENCE CHESS

It is what it is.  Don't call it something cute. 

It is a rook!  Not a castle!

It is a knight!  Not a horsey!

It is Correspondence Chess!

Except that, unlike correspondence chess , replies can be virtually instantaneous 24/7

Compudence chess.  Half computer half correspondence.  Sounds better than Corruponter.

how about team chess since most of it is played by clubs or teams and usually you can refer your move to a team member for advice.

How should we rename "Online Chess"? (This mean non-live chess with multi-day time controls.)

um.. you cannot refer your move for advice.. not in rated games anyway.. no assistance is permitted.

It is individual chess not team chess... not sure why  you got the idea that it was?

People only do this because they're forced to by the site's restrictive policy of not providing a separate section where people can play "advice chess" (to be known hereafter as "Cerberus Chess").
