The NOST Tag

Description

Games played through postal correspondence by members of NOST, which stood for the kNights of the Square Table. Since NOST is no longer active, this tag is not for identifying games you could play by joining NOST. Instead, this tag is for historical interest and for noting one way in which certain games received recognition in the past.
