Kibitzer's Corner
Nov-06-16  offramp: A very well-written preamble to a historic, but not especially scintillating, match from chess's early modern era. Nigel Short once pointed out how astonishingly bad correspondence games were, despite all the advantages that the players have, and this is another brace of games that proves him right.
