Correspondence Chess via Snail Mail
Anyone know if CC via snail mail is still a thing and if so is there a good place to find a player? Since being a kid I loved stories of people sending post cards with moves. I found a couple websites online but they all seem to use email. To add to this I'd prefer to play without computer assistance.

It sounds like what you really want is a time travel machine.

The Genie is out of the bottle...can't be put back. Sad, but true...Correspondence chess is dead.
