Would anyone like to play correspondence chess by text message?

The article mentions chess over smartphones, but there is also a section that describes correspondence chess through regular mail, so there are more ancient ways to play chess.
Yes. That is common knowledge among experienced chess players.
You may know this already, but in case not, correspondence chess on chess.com is called 'daily' chess. Regardless of how the moves are transmitted between players (postcards, email, text message, etc.), the defining aspect of correspondence chess is that the time control is specified in days per move. For example 1 day, 3 days, 5 days, 7 days, etc., per move. This format is available on chess.com as 'daily' chess.
Better to just send letters with the move you played, just like 100 years ago, so the game actually lasts a couple years.

Because his request is the most outdated thing we have ever seen. We could understand this maybe 15 years ago, but not today.
If phone number is too personal to give out, how about email address?
sound boring
