    Is Correspondence Chess Dead?

         I came across this interesting article on Linkedin the other day and thought I’d share it. 
         Once upon a time I was an avid postal player and later online, but when engines hit the Master level, as only an Expert I could no longer compete. Personally, I disagree with the author and correspondence chess no longer holds any interest for me.
