Your first sentence brought to mind several humorous cartoons and whatnot on just how one might go about playing chess by mail!
Probably the most detail-oriented opponent I ever played not only wrote out the moves using notation (which is the official record of the move), but his cards had chessboards pre-printed on them, and he would apply little rubber stamps, colored red and black, depicting the pieces in their position!
If you liked my post, please do vote for it. The poll says I'm taking a bye, but actually, I'm not! :^)
