CCLA HAS OPENED A SECOND WEB SITE, DEDICATED SPECIFICALLY TO CCLA SERVER CHESS: www.serverchess.com This site contains CCLA server results, ratings and rules. Grand Prix results will be updated monthly. News updates on major CCLA tournament results will be highlighted. Content will be changed frequently on the homepage to keep you up-to-date on tournament progress, and status updates shown on how close we are to filling sections. The homepage includes a link to a new blog "Chess on the Server" at serverchess.blogspot.com Check it out, register, and add your thoughts to the blog. Games will be highlighted with a PGN viewer so you can play through a game right from your browser. We plan to build a database of as many CCLA games as we can, so please submit your best games to webmaster@serverchess.com
