Odds are that you have not seen a precursor to game 10 of the 1995 match between Kasparov and Anand, and you've never heard of Oddbjorn Nevestveit. This is as it should be. The plight of the Correspondence Chess player is to toil in anonymity to add a grain of sand to the body of chess knowledge. Show magnanimity, cruel world, when you find these endangered souls. Be so kind as to humor them, as they try their wondrous circus acts for your amusement! And above all, may you find creative satisfaction in chess.
