Please check out ChessWorld.net - a fun Email Chess Server developed by the BritWeb Webmaster!

All websites are great in their own right because different people have different amount amounts of time and resources and are all usually non-commercial in nature, representing a club or organisation.

Websites which the Britweb webmaster personally feels are exceptional and in some way inspirational are highlighted with a Wow! indicator. The idea is to drive Britweb websites forward through emphasising great examples which others can be motivated by. But the people behind every website should be given credit for representing their club and association on the web - Well done to all :-)
