I was surprised to hear about this also, but then not so much, because the reigning Norwegian champ has a tendency towards the dramatic and often appears unstable.

I used to be an avid correspondence chess player. I would buy the packs of cards from USCF...I think they even came pre-stamped in those days.

With the rise of the internet, and other modern perversions, sacred things like correspondence chess, and not cheating at chess, disappeared.

I started going to chess clubs and some of the parks around Cali in the late 90s, and the more I would lose, I would see my opponents rise up from the table before me, look at me with pride and declare how they were smarter than I. It's at that moment I would pity them most.

I never played chess again after that. I stick to games of chance. Godly things.
