If you're not a correspondence chess player you probably won't have heard of the American correspondence star Kurt Stein, but Daniel Parmet was well-acquainted with the #5 correspondence chess player in the United States, and writes in to let us know of his passing. Here is his obituary (with several games included), and here is the obituary by Ken Holroyd (another correspondence chess star).
