Description

This is a book about some of my experiences of playing correspondence (also called postal) chess. It was a time when chess by email was new and chess engines were not as strong as they are now. Playing correspondence chess can teach many things. The book includes some games I played when I was a junior, still new to chess.

CC Master Tim Runting wrote in the national correspondence chess magazine: Bill Jordan's winning of the 1995 Australian Championship with 12.5/13 in what was one of the strongest events ever has unfortunately gone unnoticed in the CC world. Although chess engines were around then, I won the event without using a computer. This book includes all my games from the championship.
