  GrahamClayton: This issue of the US Correspondence Chess News features an article which attempts to track down Conger:

  GrahamClayton: Not long ago Isaac Ash, whose chess column is featured in the Philadelphia Inquirer, sent us the following letter. It is from a man behind the man behind the gun, and expresses the thoughts of one who has recently been converted to correspondence chess, It reads:

“Dear Mr, Ash; Some time ago I wrote you asking if you could contact me with a chess player in my neighborhood, preferably on a Sunday, and at hours suitable to me, because of my continuous defense work at night. Well, to cut the story short, I have had my desire satisfied. I subscribed to CHESS REVIEW, as advertised in your column, and have entered the Postal Victory Tournament—and am having a swell time. One of your correspondents, Robert D. Grande, of Adams, Mass., is one of my contestants, and I am playing black against his Queen Pawn Opening. For the first time in my life I have had a chance to study the mechanics of the different openings and defenses via slow motion, so to speak, and it has helped me very much! I had always thought postal chess just about the last straw, too slow, but brother, with a Sicilian, a Queen Pawn, and four Ruy Lopez games to take care of, there is plenty of action!" WAYNE CONGER

Mr, Conger is not the first one who has changed his opinion about mail chess, and neither is he the only one who has found that it is the single branch of the game which adjusts itself to particular cases. We learn of more and more such persons every month.
