It's still a thing and they even have world championships in it. Everyone always draws because it's basically just Stockfish vs. Stockfish. (Okay in the most recent one there were actually a shared first place, a shared second place, and one person in third place. The latter died during the tournament, and whether the others ended up in first or second place depended on whether they had drawn with third place before he died or if they won on time.)
- eterm 10mo agoThat sounds like satire but is actually true: It appears that in the latest championship, a full 10 players shared first place, because one person died: https://www.iccf.com/event?id=100104 https://www.iccf.com/event?id=100104 All other games were drawn. What a rather unserious organisation.
