That is not what I meant. It is not self-deception or cheating. What I meant is that as a student of chess, you don't really improve at chess if you just use an engine to analyse positions. You improve only when you put in the effort to do the analysis yourself, then AFTER the game, run an engine to find your mistakes.
I agree with You,runpawnrun,to analyse position,yes but for only move,move and move,not,When,You have good teacher,who is good Player,maybe at school,it make sense,For me...So,I have Fritz 13,I used chessprogram maybe 5 times,I am lazy:-)
Look at my elo,I think that I will analyse games,I will better in this game
Can't wait to see the full feature set... great addition! Thanks!
Thanks for adding correspondence chess! Some correspondence chess sites have this nice time feature called a timebank. Basically you have to make a move every X days, but you also get Y extra days that can be used over the whole game.

So for example, if you start a game with a 1 day per move time control + a 1 day time bank then you have to make one move per day, but if you are late one day you'll start eating into your 1 day time bank. If you move 26 hours after your opponent then you'll only have 22 hours of time bank left for the rest of the game. If you run out of timebank then you can still play as long as you move within 24 hours of your opponent.

Time banks are nice to have if, for example, you plan to always move right before bed, but that might be a couple hours earlier or later on some days. Time banks are also nice if you don't play as regularly on certain days of the week, like weekends, or if you have a short vacation coming up in the next 2 months but want to start some games that might not finish in time.

Overall, having options for a 1 to 7 day timebank only adds about as much time as a couple extra moves, which for a ~60 move game is not very much. It could be a nice feature to have, if other players are interested.
It would be nice if there was a way to just filter correspondence games from the other games, or to filter games in progress from completed games; if I were to play several simultaneously, they could quickly be lost in my list of games by the live games I play.

For the time being, I'm just bookmarking them.
Anyone would like to play some chess 960 correspondance game?
I'd love to play that, but I'm not too great at chess 960.
Who knows? According to FIDE, my Chess 960 rating is 0. Haha.
