WBCCC

World Blitz Correspondence Chess Championship

WBCCC started out  as an idea to make correspondence chess tournaments more interesting:

● The games are broadcast on the Rybka Forum. When a move is made it is automatically posted on the forum along with a diagram of thecurrent position.
● The forum users, both the players themselves and others, can discuss the games freely, but of course the observers are not allowed to suggest moves or make comments that may directly influence the move choice of the players.
● The games are played at a fast pace compared to traditional correspondence games
