Yes, actually, there is one. Just look at:
http://www.cathedral-game.co.nz/onlineplay.htm
I did play a Cathedral game by email some time ago. The ASCII
representation I used for board and pieces might prove handy in case
someone plans to make the pbem implementation:
Sample board:

the official website (http://www.cathedral-game.co.nz/play.htm). Look there
for the meaning of the notes.)

Hope that helps. It would be really neat to have Cathedral available in the
