Correspondence Chess player James Fisher RIP

A fellow chess player who I've played on 13 occasions has passed away. James Fisher from Deer Park Texas. I don't the cause of death or when James passed away except it happened in the last 10 days.

James was a tough player, who was rated one of the top 100 CC players by the US Chess Federation. I had been fortunate to be 4-6 against James lifetime,(4 losses, 2 wins and 4 draws by me) with three games active at the time of his death. James didn't talk too much in any of our mails to each other and almost all our games were played by email since the first time we played in 2002. He didn't seem to like conventional openings, but it worked well for him.

Below I've put one of the games I played against James. He crushed me in 20 moves. James Fisher will be missed by his fellow correspondence chess players. RIP.
