Well... I just finished my first International Correspondence Chess Federation (ICCF) game.  Not exactly what I was hoping for... on the other hand my other games in progress are all going quite well.  I should be able to win at least a couple!

Anyways here's this one :(.

Tough game.

Yeah no kidding.  I see why those superGM's often opt for simpler stuff, even at the risk of a draw.  When you get complex you get surprised!

Wild ride, thanks for sharing.  Mind me asking how you play these games (snail mail or email)?

Email.  10 moves per 50 days (very slow moving ...)

Can you tell me what to do to play a tournament like that ?

Think its commendable that your willing to play in such events (broaden the horizons and all).  I played in one USCF CC tourney, but now with sites and servers like this I probably wouldn't have the patience.

I see from the ICCF website that they are having their "inaugural web-server tournament" interesting.
