Card 1

Card 1

This card was sent to me by my opponent in the 1994 Alabama Chess Federation Correspondence Chess Championship. The U.S. Post Office mangled his card, but managed to return it in a bag explaining that it was damaged by "mechanical methods used to maintain production." He resent the move together with this card in a letter.

Card 2

Card 2

Again in the 1994 Alabama Chess Federation Correspondence Chess Championship, a different opponent thought so much of his moves that he sent this picture post card. I am the poor unfortunate wretch depicted on the ground.

Card 3

Card 3

The back of the card read: "I capitulate! There is absolutely no question as to the outcome of our game. Nice play!" Submitted by: David Zechiel
