{According to Edward Winter's Chess Notes no. 6588 (May 2010), pages 16-23 of
volume three of 'Klassische Schachpartien' by E. Bogoljubow (Berlin and
Leipzig, 1928) had a section on correspondence chess. He reported that between
October 1920 and August 1921 he played 25 games against Swedish players and
clubs, scoring +19 -1 =5. This was the first of the five games (one of two
between the same parties) which Bogoljubow annotated.} 1. e4 c5 2. Bc4 Nc6 3.

{BCCA Mag 20, Dec 1915, p. 7 says just concluded. Rev Griffiths said: 'For
sheer audacity and brilliancy we have seen nothing to compare with it in
Correspondence Chess. The loser is a player of no mean Chess attainments and
we are sure he readily joins with us in honouring his doughty opponnet, who
has here produced a combination worthy of the redoubtable Murphy [sic]. Bs,
Kts and Rs are engaged in joint operations with such dire effect that the
Black Queen, though her White vis-a-vis is slain, can only look on in blank
despair'.  Notes by Hamond followed. A famous game. Note that Hamond (then
only Mr) played in the British Ch at Shrewsbury 1906 (one of his wins appears
in ILN 1 Sept 1906 p302).  Obit in The Field 27/2/1932 says he was a
well-known Norfolk player with atatcking style. Competed several times for
British Champ. and on last occasion (1929) he beat the winner, Mir Sultan Khan

(July 1852) Informs RLB (Stoke) that his acceptance of Kempe's challenge has
been communicated to that gentleman; and then Kling and Horwitz who were
associated with Home Circle and its Chess Editor publish the game. I think
that clinches it.  Kemp or Kempe often comes up.  In the 1851 census there was
just one Alfred Kempe: Alfred B Kempe in Kensington, London. Not certain this
is him because Kempe may have been in the Channel Islands.} 48. Qd3+ {
This game then appeared in Bell's Life in London 10 April 1853 (p8) with a

RLB of Stoke = R. Burnard.} 48... Rf5 49. Kg1 e4 0-1

{This positional struggle against Manfred Hafner from Germany was my best game
in the 20th Correspondence Chess World Championship Final. I was able to
convert a small advantage I gained in the opening to a full point.} 1. d4 d5 2.
c4 e6 3. Nc3 Be7 $1 {This move order was originated by Tigran Petrosjan in the
late 50's and the early 60's and he used it in 3 games in his match against
Botvinnik in 1963. It found its way to games of Victor Kortshnoi, Anatoli
Lutikov, Boris Spassky, Lajos Portisch and many other top players of the time.
The idea of 3...Be7! is revealed in the variation 4.Nf3 Nf6 5.cxd5 exd5 6.Bg5
c6 7.e3 Bf5 or 7.Qc2 g6 followed by ... Bf5. In both cases black has solved
the problem of his "bad" c8 bishop and renders the exchange variation aimless
for white. We can say that 3...Be7! force white to play Nf3 or alternatively
Bf4 intead of the normal Bg5, and in both csaes white doesn't have a hop of
opening advantage. A further interesting question is that should black overall
be afraid of the exchange variation? One answer is given in my game against
Alexander Ugge in XIX 3/4 Final. In that game I succeeded to win my Canadian
opponent and I barely made it to the 20th WCC Final instead of the Canadian.
He made it to the 21st WCC Final and got silver medal right after the
venerable Joop J. van Oosterom being the only player without losses.} ({

forced me to give up the exchange variation, so I had to invent something else.
} 4... Nf6 5. Bf4 {I had earlier played here 5.Bg5, but my latest effort with
this move ended into a draw only after 17 moves, so I wanted to try something
else. Though according to opening manuals 5.Bf4 shouldn't be any better in
fighting for an advantage, but it is not at all that simple. Anyway white
enjoys the advantage of the opening move and the white bishop on the diagonal
h2-b8 is clearly more dominant than either of the black bishops. So I was
confident that I would find something to maintain a small advantage with the
white pieces.} 5... O-O 6. e3 Nbd7 {The most usual move here is 6...c5, but

of 15. Nb5 to play 15.Rab1 Bb4 16.Rfc1 Qe7 17.Qe2 and considers it a little
better for white. I also spent a lot of effort to study that game, but
rejected it after realising that black can equalise by playing simply 13...Ne4.

protect it will give white a slight advantage.} 21... Nbc4 22. Bxc4 dxc4 {

has said that engines must be twisted even several moves towards your
variation before they agree with you. Here it is perfectly true. Usually I
even don't use engines in positional game, as they have very little to offer

the black's c-pawn. Things started to materialise after I was able to convince
my thick head that white king has absolutely nothing to do in the open field
with this much material on the board. The game continuation removes the white
king from the future back rank checks.} 32... Qc7 {An alternative was} (32...

chases the black knight away from f5 and keeps on pressuring the e5 pawn.}

white. Without removing it, it will be impossible for white to progress.
Fortunately white has an excellent solution at his disposal and it is perfect
timing for that, as black doesn't have any direct threats at the moment.} 35.

more. Instead it is important for him to take control of the important d5
square for defensive purposes.} 39. Qxc2 Qd5 {The pain in white's flesh has
been removed at last and white is a clear pawn up. On top of that black has
one isolated pawn, which defence might prove difficult in the future. The
black queen on d5 helps his defence and it is not easy to get her leave that
square. Black's assets for successful defence consists of: all pawns are on
the king side and queens are still on board. Here I consider that my chances
to win this game compared to draw are fifty-fifty.} 40. Nd3 Kf7 {This move w
as a total surprise for me! I had imagined that the knight ending after 41.Qc4
would be winning, but things are not that clear. Fortunately the move came in
just a couple of days before my vacation, so I could delve into this knight
ending for a month without let my clock to tick. After a long hesitation I
came to the conclusion that it would be impossible to win this knight ending.
By co-incidence I saw the ending in Kivimaki-Pyshkin in Estrin Memorial, where
my friend Kivimaki was able to hold a draw in a knight ending with a pawn down.
My own analysis led to similar kind of position. So, I decided to keep the
queens on board for a while, although I couldn't be sure about any brighter
future. That half-intuitive decision I never had to regret!} 41. f3 Kg8 42. Qc3
Nc6 43. h4 $1 {White wants to push the pawn to h5, where it would restrict
even more about black's alternatives. In that case white's long term plan
could be to land his knoght into g6 and threaten a mate along the back rank.
If nothing else, this would force black to give up d5 for his queen. Another
aim was that in case of g7-g6 and exchange of the pawns, black's remaining
pawns would be as far as possible from each other, which would make black's
defence difficult. Naturally white needs to ensure that he can support the
pawn on h5, but that is not a problem.} 43... Kh7 44. h5 Kh8 {Diagram #} 45.
Kg3 Qe6 $6 {Black's first mistake, if you don't count his opening variation a
mistake, where I was able to make my novelty. Black shouldn't have given up
the d5 square under any circumstances without a fight. Of course I could have
gotten d5 after a long fight, but I believe it would have taken some 20 moves
more. Now all this was handed to me on the plate. A strange co-incidence
happened here. A couple of times my opponent had numbered his moves
incorrectly. I had bypassed those mistakes and with his next move the
numbering was correct. But now something happened, which hadn't happened
before: my opponent had marked my move as 45.Kh3. I was absolutely sure that I
had written down to the card 45.Kg3, but I started to hesitate as my candidate
moves had been 45.Kh3 and 45.Kg3. Even more embarrassing was that my 45th move
was the last move before time control and I had only one day left. If I would
have made a protest and I would be wrong, I would get a five day penalty and
lose on time. For a moment I was even thinking to play my 46th move normally
and look at his reaction, as if my king would be on his opinion on h3 in check,
he would notify me. In that case my penalty would come on move 46 and not on
45 and I would be clear. After a lengthy pondering I came to a conclusion that
I couldn't possibly have been able to write down a diffrent move to the card
and to the protocol, because I always double check them twice. So I emailed to
my opponent a notification that he had written a wrong move to his card and he
may naturally move something else, if he wishes. It took three painfully slow
days before he replied. He was sorry for his mistake and confirmed that I had
moved 45.Kg3 and his move is 45...Qe6. He kept his move the same and the only
conlusion I can withdraw from this is that he had genuinely made a mistake in
writing the moves down. After this episode my paranoia grew to the extent that
I started to take photocopies of all my cards to be able to verify that my
move had been written down correctly and the card would signed. Perhaps one
more factor to take additional measurements was that at this point of the
tournament I started to fight for the medals. Another decision I took was that
I would never play by post any more as webserver solves all this kind of
problems. Webservers problem is that 50/10 thinking time is too quick for
about half of the WCC finalists. To my opinion ICCF shouldn't push these
players to play by post only because they want to play slower, as roughly 30%
of the players have wished for slower playing tempo on server.} 46. Qa3 Kh7 47.

{First (?) published by Walker in BLL 15/12/1839 where he says the game lasted
seven months.Schumacher won a superb set of ivory chessmen. 'We understand
this learned gentleman is at present playing a match at Chess by
correspondence with the best player of the Berlin Club.' That is presumably a
reference to his game with Bledow, which is also known. The loser's name is
given in this source as 'M. John, of the Hamburgh Chess Club'.  Walker 'Chess
Studies' #416 says "Won by Professor Schumacher of M.Johns" but Bledow has
more particulars, saying it was Prof. Schumacher, Director of the Altona
Observatory (Altona is now part of Hamburg) v Herr John (a member of the
Hamburg club). According to Gaige's Personalia there was an E.John from
Hamburg whose dates are right.  The Schachzeitung 1852 pp. 56-60 has more on
Schumacher, who was originally from Dorpat (Livonia, where Kieseritzky
originated). It said that in 1847 Le Verrier (discoverer of Neptune) wished to
play against Schumacher by correspondence but the latter said he had not the
time to do so.} 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Bc5 3. c3 Qe7 4. Nf3 Nf6 5. Qe2 d6 6. d3 Bg4 7.

{From the book 'Chess Problems' (1844) by R. A. Brown of Leeds, pp. 103-4.
'Played by correspondence between the Author and Mr ----.'  Brown's Christian
name is given in Gaige p.55 and his source for this may have been a 19th
century German reference work or Weenink's chess problem book.  This game was
first published in CPC ii (23 July 1842) pages 355-6 and so was probably
played in 1841/2 and not 1844 as I peviously thought. "Played by
correspondence, between Mr. R. A. B., of the Leeds Chess Club, and an Amateur.
" Walker in BLL 2 July 1843, notes on Leeds club and says: 'We understand Mr
Brown, of this club, has made remarkable progress, and promises to become a
player of a high class.'} 1. d4 d5 2. c4 dxc4 3. e3 e5 4. dxe5 Qxd1+ 5. Kxd1

Noteboom. He found the notes somewhere that only gave the surnames; later he
found the bare score in the online Nicbase, but there is no corresponding
event in Eloquery. So this was not played in a rated ICCF tournament or match.

Pagni in Correspondence Chess 174 p33. Too late for thesis. Pagni's books had
nothing about this.   The original source appears to be Morning Post 27/3/1835

diminish the interest of the game, by offering to exchange their Bishops in
what we think an uncalled-for manner. Leeds lost because they have not
developed their game and Doncaster has got more force into play. It will be
recollected that some years back the Leeds amateurs won a match by
correspondence against the Liverpool club; this game will teach them the
insecurity of resting even upon laurels.'  However the Morning Post explains
that Leeds had sent  "19. Q. B. to Q. Kt. Three."  "This being an impossible
move the Doncaster Club very properly called on their antagonists to pay the
penalty and move their King. The Leeds Club resigned the game. After move 18
it was impossible for them to have carried it on with the slightest chance of
success."} 0-1

{Bell's Life 15 Feb 1835 mentions match begun 1834 between Leeds and Doncaster
and names the people involved. LEEDS: Muff, Cadman, and Wilkinson; DONCASTER:
Morey and Pearson.  BLL Says Doncaster won the first game, the other still
playing. No moves seen. Pagni had nothing about this in his books but somebody
must have sent it to him because Correspondence Chess no. 174 (bylined Pagni &
Ivo Fasiori) includes the two games, found in The Hobart Town Courier, 22 May
1835!   I checked this for myself in Colindale. It should be noted that when
the Australian paper published this, the second game had in fact been over for
quite some time, but the date in which the report first appeared in the Atlas
(a London paper for the colonies) has not yet been determined, and the Atlas
presumably found it in an English newspaper - probably the Morning Post of 27
March 1835. Caledonian Mercury 14 June 1834 mentioned this in a report that
covered several chess matches.  Leeds Mercury 15 Nov 1834 says the match began
in March and Doncaster have now won the first game, the second one still
continuing.  BLL 14 June 1835 says Doncaster won match and is now going to
play Newcastle.  This followed the Leeds Mercury (of 16 May), quoting the Tyne
Mercury, saying: 'CHESS - We understand a negociation is now pending for a
match between the Newcastle Chess Club and the Doncaster Club; the latter were
victors in the late match with Leeds. We may therefore shortly expect some
interest for the admirers of this fascinating game.'  Leeds Mercury 21 Mar
1835 simply reported that 'The Doncaster Chess Club has just won a second game
from the Leeds Club'.} 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Bc5 3. c3 Qe7 4. d3 d6 5. Nf3 c6 6. O-O

following letter to Mr E. Drewitt, the principal player and able secretary of
the Rochester club: 'Maidstone, Nov. 1, 1844. My dear Sir,-Feeling the
superiority of your position, at present, on the board (although we have a
majority of pieces) our players reluctantly resign the game; at the same time
expressing a desire, as each party has won one game, to play a third and
conquering game. Should your players be willing to continue the match, perhaps
you will be kind enough to inform me. Trusting the good feeling at present
existing between us may not be abated, I am, dear sir, yours truly, Geo.
Tolhurst, Hon. Sec.' 'We feel pleasure in stating that the challenge to a
third game has been responded to by the Rochester gentlemen, and is now in
progress. No doubt it will be very heartily contested by both parties' [TH:
Maidstone won the third game after seven months according to the West Kent
Guardian, 21 June 1845, but no moves published there...] 'During the progress
of the two games which have been played, two meetings have been held at the
Blue Bell Inn, half-way between the two towns, between eight players from each
club. The Maidstone club won a majority of games at the first meeting, but at
the second the tables were turned, and the Rochester gentlemen carried off the
palm. These contests have tended much to increase the skill of the players,
and we feel convinced, that whatever may be the result of the game now in hand,
the friendship of either party will not be shaken by defeat.'} 1-0

{The match played in the early 1840s between players in the Norfolk ports of
(King's) Lynn and (Great) Yarmouth was mentioned twice in George Walker's
reports for Bell's Life in London, and at last the result and the moves of
these games have been found. This was one of several matches to commence soon
after the Penny Post was inaugurated on 10 January 1840. In the issue for 2
August 1840 (page 2), it was stated that:   The Yarmouth club meets on
Tuesdays at the Star; the best players are Messrs. Kemp, Sherrington, Swann
and Skill. The match between these gentlemen and the men of Lynn still goes on.
We have just received the games, and the balance seems nicely poised. The
Yarmouth Club meet in one of the finest oak-panelled rooms in England; and two
splendid dinners yearly, given by the members, never fail to be well attended.
  Then on 30 May 1841, Walker answered a query about chess club in Lynn,
saying there was no regular club in the town 'but a party of amateurs conduct
the match currently pending by corresponding against Yarmouth'. (Back in 1835,
Bell's Life had already mentioned that the Rev. Horatio Bolton, a famous early
problem composer,  was a member of the Yarmouth club. It was looking for a
correspondence match with Norwich which probably didn't happen as at that date
it would have been expensive to conduct.)  By this time the first game had
finished between Lynn and Yarmouth although Walker may not have known this.
The moves were published in a Suffolk newspaper, the Ipswich Journal, on 1 May
(page 4), whose somewhat repetitive report was as follows. 'CHESS.-In the
month of January, 1840, the gentlemen who compose the Club of Chess Players in
Yarmouth, challenged, through the medium of the press, any Club in the
counties of Norfolk or Suffolk. Though there are many chess players in Lynn,
yet there is no regular club established there; but soon after the appearance
of the above challenge, some of the Lynn players were desirous of accepting it,
and a match was agreed upon between the Yarmouth Club and certain gentlemen of
Lynn. Two games were commenced on the 26th of January, 1840, Yarmouth taking
the first move in the one, which is called the Yarmouth game and is not at
present concluded, and Lynn taking the move in the other, denominated the Lynn
game and which was concluded by Yarmouth resigning in favour of Lynn, on the
10th inst. The Yarmouth game is not finished, but at present the Yarmouth
players have the best of it. A move is made by each party each week, and in
matters of this sort the penny postage confers the advantage of chief
communication. The unfinished game is expected to be concluded ere long, and
should it terminate in favour of Yarmouth (which at present seems rather
probable), the parties will still be equal, game and game, and neither can
claim a decided victory, unless the contest is further persevered in. For the
entertainment of the Connoisseurs in Chess, we subjoin the following statement
of the game which is already terminated.'} 1. e4 e5 2. f4 d5 3. exd5 exf4 4.

players for Madras were James Cochrane (NOT John Cochrane, lately of London)
and Ghulam Kassim (who died in Madras 1830 and has a variation of the King's
Gambit named after him). Unfortunately the leading Hyderabad player Shah Sahib
died soon after the start of the match. His place was taken by a less strong
player, Row Sahib. (These names are not in the Ghulam Kassim book, which has
the game on pages 41-44. They are found when Lewis sends the games in to

 POSSIBLE WINNING PLAN: Aim for something like Kf5, Qf7, Ph5, h6 versus Kh8,
Rg8 and his B somewhere between d4 and a1. (Can he prevent me setting this up?)
  I have proved a win in situation where his B is on d4, viz:  Play 1 h6-h7,
he has to reply 1...Rg7, now Q moves to attack his B, say 2 Qa2 (this tempo is
crucial). He plays 2...Bd4. Then 3 h5-h6, when if he plays 3...Rg7xh7 I have
Kg6 mate in 6. My Q stops 3...Rf7+ and other R moves on rank are met by Qg8#.
Then if 3...Rg3 4 Qd5 (covers check on f3 and attacks B) 4...Bb2 (4...Ba1 5
Qa8+ and Qxa1) 5 Qa8+ Kxh7 6 Qb7+ Kxh6 7 Qxb2 with QvR is win.  Lastly, 3...
Rg1 4 Qa8+ Kxh7 5 Qa7+ and Qxg1.  To gte my K to f5, I can bring it round to
e4 with Q on e6, then play h5 and QF7 to stop him having ...Rf8+.Assuming (is
this cvorrect though?) that he cn only move his B, I can then play Kf5 to

number of very subtle move order options where we made the right decisions.
Notably 16. Qc2 or 16. Rg1. While they almost certainly transposed, there was
no reason to offer him a choice at such an early stage. 20. Ne3 instead of 20.
Ng3 was also important. 23. Pb4 instead of the safety play 23. Bd2 was another.
Fortunately it was not necessary to preserve the Pc4 option and we had
resources to stop blockade defenses. Perhaps more luck than planning."} 1-0

Stanley.  Match by correspondence between Cambridge and Cardiff. For the
following two games, forming a match but now concluded between E. Walker, Esq.
M. A. secretary of the Cambridge Chess Club, and Nelsen Fedden, Esq. secretary
of the Cardiff Chess Club, we are indebted to the politeness of the former
gentleman. According to the stipulations of the match in question, it appears
that full permission was accorded to each of the belligerent parties to avail
himself of the advice and assistance of any or every fellow member of the club
to which, respectively, he belonged; so that to all intents and purposes this
contest, although not so called, was <I>de facto,</I> a fight for supremacy

{Fraser book #150. After his international team tournament ended, G. B. Fraser
began a new series of individual tournaments around October 1891. His book of
games from the tournaments appeared in 1896 but he didn't identify what events
or years the individual games were played, and in most cases there is no way
of knowing. However this result matches the international table.  Later I

agreed wthat the game "reflects the highest degree of credit on the players.

{Sherwood is a 1 e4 player (almost always Spanish). With Black he plays
Gruenfeld though may get him into something else via 1 d4 Nf6 2 Nf3 when he
sometimes plays 2...d5. He has a LOT of games from 2013-2014.  No FIDE rating;
ICCF 2270.  He is playing fast and I am doing the same around moves 8-12 as
most of my moves are obvious whereas he has probably not spent as much time as
he should have on alternatives. I suspect he is playing the computer
preference, but not using the same program as me since it's often not
Houdini's first choice (especially hismoves 9 and 11 show this).} 1. d4 Nf6 {

have done, but it is a little surprising at this point because he had a wide

included Bavoux who won a big French correspondence tournament shortly
afterwards and Zani who played sveeral postal tournaments. Also, I think,
maybe Clerc who played in the Paris 1878 international.  This match started in
1884 (see also LS 1884 page 211 for start and p. 276 for early moves.) Pagni
