Recently I read a statistic that the bigger part of the correspondence chess players is still playing with postcards (more than 50 percent). A smaller part is playing with e-mail and fax and only the smallest part plays on a webserver. Can you believe this?
Does anybody know how is the situation in his own national correspondence chess federation?

as for me, I'm still active in the IECC, which is an email chess organisation, but have slipped to only 1-2 games since IYT, and then GT and BK became active. it's simply too comfortable to play on a server.

I have the same position.I know the IECG (www.iecg.org), a great organisation with more than 10000 members only chess,right? But why do so many people not use a chessserver? I don`t understand it.
