Anyone know if CC via snail mail is still a thing and if so is there a good place to find a player? Since being a kid I loved stories of people sending post cards with moves. I found a couple websites online but they all seem to use email. To add to this I'd prefer to play without computer assistance.

The Genie is out of the bottle...can't be put back. Sad, but true...Correspondence chess is dead.
