The AISE Tag
Description
Games that were played by postal correspondence between members of AISE, whose Italian acronym stood for Associazione Italiana Scacchi Eterodossi, which translates to The Italian Association for Heterodox Chess or The Italian Association for Chess Variants. Since AISE is no longer active, this tag is not here to direct you to games you can play. Its main purpose is to provide some historical context and another indicator of a game's popularity. Note that AISE favored progressive versions of some games, because they were quicker, and postal correspondence was a slow way to play.
