What is a
correspondence Chess game?
In Chess problems books by the
Grand Master Roman Toran, this is mentioned in some Chess games.
Thank you.
Dear
viewer,
Correspondence Chess is a version of the game that has been
played for centuries and it is sort like playing long-distance Chess. This type of Chess playing has been
commonly made by sending moves by mail to an opponent, who will
then reply with his own move and send it back in the same
manner.
Some forms of correspondence Chess,
besides the Postal system, are through email and through a
correspondence Chess server. Other less common methods which
have been employed include teletype, fax, and homing pigeons. It is normal for a correspondence
Chess game played by mail to take months or years to complete
given the length of time sending and receiving moves by each
player.
Bobby Fischer played in the
Capablanca Memorial tournament of Havana, Cuba by teletype from
New York city on 1965 because the U.S. State Department denied
him permission to travel to Havana for the tournament.
US Chess Champion Bobby Fischer won
this match on Wednesday night August 25 by defeating Heinz
Lehmann in 32 moves:
