  It does take some time to adjust to the timemodel with at least one whole day for each move.

Answers.Text: Thanks for providing the right term, that was key! I tried Chess.com, but it only seems to have real-time matches. Chess Time works as intended but the UX is not very sleek.

Body: <p>In Wordfeud, it's kind of play-and-forget. When your opponent makes a move, you get a notification. Typically I would move once a day while commuting to and from work. A game would typically take a week to finish.</p>

  <p>However, I haven't found a way to utilise the FICS network to play in this more casual way. It seems that if you disconnect, you defeat. Even if you didn't, you wouldn't get any notifications.

  <p><strong>So, could you recommend me a client that would do the above?</strong></p>
  
  <p>A smartphone friendly (responsive) website with email notifications is also interesting as a second option.</p>
