I wanted to mention that GM Timman is one of the very few OTB GM’s that also plays fantastic Correspondence Chess and is currently playing in some great ICCF games.
I know a lot of people, especially OTB players, automatically scoff at Correspondence Chess. Yet, there is no reason to. I know the excuse: Computers.
If everyone was using computers in CC then every player would have a Master level rating.
They don’t.
But, I wanted to point out GM Timman’s games can be viewed on the ICCF’s website if anyone cares to take a look.
