I am new to postcard collecting and one category that I have not delved into much is RPPCs or Real Photo Postcards. I can understand why it is a beloved category, but currently I am not drawn to photos of other people. I have been picking up a cat RPPC here or there and I'm thinking I may look for some old Galveston photos as well.
But I love, love, LOVE this one I recently purchased. The message on the back makes the card. (Click image to enlarge)

Chess Moves:
21. RxB → Move 21 (White): Rook takes Bishop
R-B2 → Move 21 (Black): Rook to Bishop 2
22. Q-Q3 → Move 22 (White): Queen to Queen 3
P... → Move 22 (Black): Pawn
I wonder if you can make out the position in the picture. It is the position in one of my games, I am in charge of the Black forces & my brother is looking after the interest of White.
Yours faithfully. G. F. C.
