An extensive literature has arisen about correspondence chess since it was first mentioned in a book dating from 1694. Tim Harding, editor of Chess Mail magazine, has made a fascinating and varied selection from the writings of several authors dealing with many aspects of the game. Included are classic texts, mighty battles, amusing stories and advice on how to succeed at correspondence chess. Read how the careers of the great Champions Alexander Alekhine and Paul Keres were founded on their experience gained from postal play. Among the contributors are CC-writers Alex Dunne, Jonathan Edwards & Stephan Gerzadowicz, and chess historians Ivan Bottlik & Egbert Meissenburg.
