It is probably not an understatement to say that Walter Muir has
been the single most influential person in the development of
correspondence chess in the United States. He has been a dominant
force in postal play on a national and international level for almost
five decades. He fully deserves recognition as the "Dean of
American Correspondence Chess."

 

The book is divided into sixty-five (!) short chapters. A review of
the Table of Contents has each duly listed (and each begins with
"In..." or "Into..."). The book is written in the first person and
the typical structure of every chapter is a two- or three-page
narrative followed by a game or two in English descriptive
notation. The use of English descriptive is explained by Hopfer
"because Walter has been a lifelong advocate" of it.

Walter Muir (1905-1999) played postal chess until he died at the age of 95.
