Games
If you are looking for chess games played in the club, then please see the Events page, this page talks about games in general.
Players can play as many games as they want in the club. A maximum of 100 simultaneous games is a general setting to avoid overloading.
Many games run simultaneously by each player.
Games can be divided into three groups in the club. These are all standard chess games, all the rules apply, but some of their attributes are different according to which groups they belong to.
The following table shows the attributes of the games belonging to the three groups:

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!

Digest Mode
Since we can have many simultaneous games here, moves of our opponents' usually come all the day, sometimes disturbing us in our regular work, in having time with our family or else.
The digest mode tries to solve this problem: the moves will not be sent to us immediately, but will be put into our queue instead. Then the queued messages will be sent out at the given one or more hours of the day in one message.
This way we can set, for example, that no message from the server of the club will disturb us during the day, but later, all the today's moves will come in one digest message.

No Viruses Here
By default, club members do not know each other's email addresses, and all email comes from our server, so no virus can spread among our players.
