a welcome tour (intro) for new members would be very helpful for group admins too.
thanks for the idea, babs.
Debate: What to call "Online Chess"...
Sort:
Main Chess ? ( is my suggestion:) (main-chess, live-chess, chess960, etc:)
(reasoning being corrospondence-chess is the main type of chess played on the site for groups & teams along with individual challenges. All the others are chess-variants...)
Id say correspondence chess
how bout - delayed chess.

It's negative sounding, like 'Slow chess' is.

Simplifies to: Efrmscnifccfpc Chess
Still hard to pronounce though... :)
Controlled Response Chess? 
Anytime Chess.....hmmmm. Simple. Erik you may be on to something!!
In the summer turn on your AC.
Quite like '' Anytime Chess '' also. That is simple & terse. Definitely one of the better suggestions. Also is more modern than '' correspondence-chess '' so appropriate given the rising-popularity of chess on i-phones etc..
now I have to go play my AC DC!
Comeon guys. If you people can learn the words "prophylaxis" "zugzwang" "Zwischenzug" then
"Correspondence" Is an easy word to use and understand..
Besides we can always name it Online Correspondence Chess. Which imo is perfect.
