Correspondence Chess League of America

---

The Correspondence Chess League of America is one of the oldest correspondence chess leagues in the United States of America. It was founded in 1909. Originally correspondence chess was played by mailing moves to the other player using post cards. Today games are played through mail, email and also on a server hosted by the ICCF. (International Correspondence Chess Federation)

In 1933 the CCLA was the first organization to use a numeric rating system for chess players.

Playing correspondence chess is a great way to really learn and study chess because it allows each player time to analyze and study each move. The CCLA website is www.serverchess.com
