Absolute Correspondence Chess Championship Participants

The Absolute Correspondence Chess Championship was the idea of former USCF Correspondence Chess Director Jack Straley Battell, back in 1975, and the first Absolute began in 1976. The Absolute Review was the idea of one of its participants, Dave Burris. Together both men not only respected the importance of Master level play in Correspondence Chess but each shared the vision to keep it alive. It is to these two champions we dedicate the Absolute CC Championship and the Absolute Review.
