Many others afe sti ll fin ishing their games, in the 1941 Orm. That players find Postal Chess enjoyable is evidenced by the fact that the va:;! majority of those who oc).!:an with us in 194 1 have rc ­ entered the 19·12 Tourneys. For instance, W . H. Lacey. Jr., who played in two sections of the 19-11 Open, joined the 19·12 Scnional and wrote liS: " I'm llaving the time of ,my life playing Chess by MaiL r entered m)' first tournament believin).!: it a poor suhstitutc for oYcr _thc_hoard play. My opinion has mad\: a completc about-face. I find that the possibi _ lities for improving one's game arc unlimited." Many of ou r new Postal Chess pla),crs havc expressed thc ~amc sentimcnts.
