All of the major chess websites feature it, except playchess.com. Touch wood.
The essence of the time control is that you have to make at least one move every x number of days. Most games go quite a bit faster. The game does not reuire that both players be online at the same time, but it can often happen that way, by mutual agreement for example. This allows you to play as many games as you want simultaneously, so the action allows you to stay busy if you want.
The rules allow you to use any resource except engine analysis. Allowed are any chess book or database. But no assistance from another person of course.
There are two commercial websites that are dedicated to correspondence chess:...
gameknot.com has a very nice interface, but no bells and whistles, perfect for those who just want to play.
My preference is chessworld.net. It features a complete ECO database, plus auxilliary positions, that allow you to set up your own challenges and tournaments from preset positions.
The Canadian Correspondence Chess Association, of which I am a member, interfaces with the ICCF in a way simlilar to the CFC and FIDE, including a similar chamipnship cycle based on geographical location. All games are played on the ICCF server.
