this are chess websites, but what about sites for just play correspondence chess? RHP will be between the first 5... or the first 10...
rhp has a tendency to go up...
there is big gap between number 1 and number 2....in Alexa ratings.
but from 2 to 14 the gap is not visible

If you look at the video's you will see some kind of electronic board, it looks like the clock is plugged into the board. Anyone know what that is all about?
I think I see, it must be hooked to a comp to record the moves because I don't see score sheets.
Is that the new norm for GM tournies now?

but It seem there are some wood boards with sensors to avoid the notation and clock in GM games since 10 or 5 years ago
