Aug-05-14  cro777: Mark Fredrick Noble ,an accountant from Lower Hutt (New Zealand), is a correspondence grandmaster and a chess coach (in schools). He's also been a FIDE master since 1992 but haven't had the time to compete formally and has largely concentrated on correspondence chess. He was New Zealand junior champion twice in 1981 and 1982

Noble started to play correspondence chess in the 1970's (when moves had to be made by post, meaning games could stretch over five years). He earned the International Master title in 1991, a Senior International Master title in 2007 and became an International Grandmater in 2010 as the first New Zealand correspondence grandmaster.

Noble won the New Zealand Correspondence Chess Championship 6 times in a row (from 2008 to 2013) and is about to win the 81st New Zealand Championship (2014).

Noble's current ICCF rating is 2503. He is one of the finalists of the ongoing 28th World Correspondence Championship.

Aug-05-14  cro777: As a curiosity, Noble also was the world champion at Heroes of Might and Magic II (a turn-based strategy video game).

  OhioChessFan: I am curious what a "GMC" is.
Aug-06-14  zanzibar: <OCF> I think that one should be spelled out now that FIDE no longer administers it directly.

CGM = <Correspondence GM>
