Statistics
To show the number of players in the club, their activity, you can find some statistical values here:
| Type |
Value |
| Number of active players: |
404 |
| Number of running games: |
1277 |
| Number of moves yesterday: |
706 |
| All incoming email messages: |
433418 |
| All outgoing email messages: |
695906 |
A player becomes inactive if he/she is not playing in any game, does not have a pairing request, and sent his/her last message to the server more than 100 days ago. At this point he/she is temporarily removed from the players list, inactive players do not count into the above value.
Running games are those which have both players, have already started, but still didn't finish, so which are currently in progress.
Yesturday's moves are those which were taken from yesturday 00:00 until today 00:00 GMT.
All incoming messages are those, which were sent by the club members to the server from somewhere the beginning of 2002.
Outgoing messages were sent by the server to the players, also from around the beginning of 2002.
If you like to play chess, playing many games simultaneously, if you like to think your moves when you have time, and it doesn't bother you if your games last several weeks, then you are welcome to join
the club.
And here you can find some rather interesting than important statistics about pieces' activity in all the games since Jan 17, 2003:

Mendeleev
Dmitriy Ivanovich Mendeleev (1834-1907) is best known for devising the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements.
He loved to play chess, among other games, and correspondence chess too. A beautiful but hard chess problem follows from him from July 4, 1889, white mates in two:
2Bn2b1/2b5/7Q/3kpN2/
1Rr1N3/3p2PK/8/8 w - - 0 1
White mates in two!

Starting Games
Games start from the standard initial setup by default, but it is possible to start new games from any setup.
Other setups can be given at challenges, in the following two ways::
- With move list: the given sequence of valid moves that reach the specific setup.
- With FEN line: this is the standard one line description of any position (either invalid)
With these two ways we can excersize openings, middle games or endings, or can replay games from one point, or else.
