Hi I am looking for any and all Online email chess programs, open source or
otherwise (if the developer will create a demo) what I am trying to do is
showcase these programs so that anyone deciding he or she wants to setup one
of these programs, they get the chance to view the program in action first,
and find out what choices are available.

If you are aware of any programs I have not showcased or if you are a
developer and you will make a demo to showcase please let me know.

Thank you

You might be right, but to be honest I am not sure what the correct
terminology might be for these programs.

Ok, lets try this, I am looking for programs that allow webmasters to setup
on their site the ability to allow users the chance to play chess with other
user around the world. The method the program would use would be (turn
based) and all moves would be sent to each player through e-mail.

I am looking for open source code that would allow me to setup and demo the
program however, if a developer (not open source) would like his or her
program showcased on my site and will create a demo version this can be
arranged.

I'm a bit confused by the terminology here. Even though sending and
receiving email is an "online" activity, unless I'm even more
confused than I think I am, you're not talking here of "email" chess
per se, but of some sort of "web site interface" chess instead. If
one has to log in to a web site in order to play, is this not
something completely different than "email chess"?

When I think of "email chess" (the electronic equivalent of snail
mail "correspondence chess"), I think of using a program like
"ECTool", or even just sending moves in algebraic notation in email
messages.

"Chess servers" and "web site chess" interfaces seem quite different
to me than "email chess"...even if there can be an element of email
notification involved with a web site or chess server.

Am I just completely confused about terminology here? Or is there
some more accurate way of describing these different ways to play
chess "online"?
