@lemondrop saidGood for you, man. I played corr chess - known then as Postal Chess, back in the 70's. The Children being birthed ended it.
the old fashioned way
pen, paper and snail mail
I've been doing it for decades
it's the only thing in the mail that I look forward too
my first games were in the early 60's
I had 40 or so games going at the same time
only one game now
with a cousin in Germany named Hans
USCF ran what they called Golden Knights Correspondence Chess.
LOVED IT!!
@earl-of-trumps saidIt's funny to see so many players here talking about the Golden Knights Correspondence Chess back in the day. I always checked the mail right after school and getting that little postcard from some far away place was such a thrill. Boise Idaho, Topeka Kansas, Albuquerque New Mexico, it all seemed so foreign and exotic. We never traveled out of our kind of run down Chicagoland neighborhood back then.
