Richard Fortman was World MailChampion 1980, 1986, 1990         

Note: Rather than having the 5th Mail-Play World Championship, Alfred Huggins retired, and a tournament was arranged to decide the new Champion, which Riley won.  He then forfeited to Jack Johnson (Canada) on ill health, who in turn forfeited to Richard Fortman on ill health in 1980.

The following game was played in the 1983 mail world challenge round between Jack Johnson (red) ,Ottawa, Canada, and Joe Charles (White), Wales. Mr. Johnson won this challenge round by defeating all four opponents: Henderson Marshall of Bermuda, 4-0-4; Ed King of the U. S. (Texas), 1-0-7; Joe Charles of Wales, 2-0-6; and Arnold Fitzpatrick of Ireland, 1-0-7. This gave Jack the right to challenge the world mail play champion, Richard Chamberlain of Australia.  But Mr. Chamberlain, in poor health, resigned and Mr. Johnson took over the champion’s mantle.
