http://www.itsyourturn.com/
(it has GO among other games)
http://kgs.kiseido.com/
(this is a real-time GO server....but...If you set up a game with no time limits, it is possible for one of the players to move when the other is absent. So unlike other real-time servers, this one can be used for a non-real-time game. However both players must be present at once to get the game started.)
And the site of the Turn-based Go Guild is at this addresss:

Originally posted by CorsairI recommend correspondence golf. Pick a course, preferably one for which you have a card. Take one of those holey practice balls and give it a belt in your garden and describe the shot via post/e-mail. Only problem being that I started to get suspicious of my opponent after the 6th hole, at which point every shot flew 300yds straight down the middle of the fairway and then he holed a chip via the wall of the toilet! Game was suspended pending an enquiry.
What sort of game - how about correspondence tennis? 😛

Originally posted by jimmyb270You'd just have to take very precise photos and recreate the ball movements. Extremely complicated, but not impossible, especially if you installed a projector in the light fitting above the table and took the photos from the same point 🙂
But you'd both have to be playing on the same table, so you'd need to fedex the table (ensuring they carried it very, very carefully) to get your opponent to make their move.

They're okay if you have a subscription, but if you don't, they've so limited the number of turns you can have in a day that it's just not worth it any more.
I had a subscription there, but then I found RHP. 😀

Notthat I would ever think of looking at other sites, but......
ICC (www.ICC.com, I think)
Chessworld.com
You can just google "corresspondence chess" and it will put up all of them.
I've shopped around before and found RHP to be the best (and it's mirror sites), So, you could just save yourself some time and subscribe here 😉

I played there off and on until my character got deleted. ðŸ˜
