A corresondence chess server with no coverage in reliable and independent sources, fails WP:NGAME and WP:NWEB. The article has been tagged with multiple issues for over a year. smtchahaltalk 15:15, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, fails to meet notability (see WP:GNG) from what I've been able to find. If there were good reliable-source ([WP:RS]]) references, it's possible it could merged with Correspondence chess; I did see a book say it was the best email-based correspondence chess service, and another listing it as among the ten best chess sites. It seems like a nicely written, informative article, which would be of interest to some readers; I just couldn't find much objective information about the service. Posting two super-brief "this exists" book mentions:
