Specific Email Chess

Hello everybody,

sorry for this being probuably the 10000th topic about email chess but I've been looking for an email chess application/server to fit my expectations for quite a while now - without luck and success.

What i'm looking for is quite simple, when my opponent makes a move I want to be sent an email with an image of the current chess board and the ability of making my move (using an email reply or a form thats included in the email) - without having to open another webpage.

Thanks a lot in advance for any help.

I started playing chess with his kind of email chess.I don'tknow the website but you can find it using google.

I already tried that, more than once but wasn't successful. Do you remember anything else about the website if you don't remember the name?

best regards

Virtually all of these chess-by-email schemes send you a link. They expect you to launch a browser to contact a server to get the position - then the browser displays the board.

What's to stop you creating the board in (fixed width font) text

in the body of the email (or in an attachment), and just updating it manually?

Don't know if this helps, but Scid has a correspondence function. I've never used it, so I don't know if/how it works.
