Like Correspondence Gaming ...

Years before the Internet became popular, chess players from around the world would play against each other through the postal system. This idea spread to many other types of games, and correspondence gaming was a great way to play against players of similar caliber, no matter the difference in location. Of course, playing this way had a few drawbacks, such as the long delay waiting for moves to arrive through the mail, and actually finding the other players who were willing to compete that way. GoldToken.com seeks to take the best aspects of correspondence gaming, and combine those with the best aspects of Internet gaming!
