CCLA Server Tournaments

Our traditional rules and ratings combined with
I.C.C.F.'s powerful internet chess server!

Rules

All CCLA server tournaments use a time limit of 10 moves in 40 days. Internet access and a valid email address are required. If you have never played chess using a webserver, CCLA is an excellent place to start, as you will be given step-by-step instructions and all questions will be answered. Note: continuous membership in CCLA is required by our ByLaws, or all games, prizes and advancements will be forfeited.
