More Info
MetroWest CC Team Email Matches is a free member-only benefit that provides a team-oriented person a way to play chess via email correspondence chess matches. This is an opportunity to analyze variations to a depth that is impossible in "over-the-board" chess. This will sharpen your skills for future MetroWest CC Monthly Tournaments!
You will be assigned to an MetroWest CC Team, with a Captain, and play an opposing team from the International Email Chess Club (IECC). There are several formats possible, but the favorite is the two game format where you play two games, one as White and one as Black, against opponents who are matched to your strength. We add 150 points to your ELO to get a rough equivalent for IECC ratings. Your games will last several months.
