<NOW THAT I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION> Having been on the top of this ladder for a year I have not been able to challenge anyone. In fact dvs was the only challenge I have made in the history of this ladder. To stimulate the top of the net, (and for my own practice) I will make the following challenge: Of all the players responding to this offer before Sat 8/31/85 I will play the top 9 ranked players (using the ladder at that time) with the following condition: If you want to play white then: 1. e2-e4 e7-e6 Otherwise: 1. c2-c4. In other words I will open all my games with the English unless you are willing to play against the French. ---------- This cannot be worse than playing in two sections of the USCF Golden Knights Semifinals while finishing 2 games from the preliminary sections. Particulars: USCF rating: 2066 USCF postal: 1518 Achivements: Beat a 2481 in a 5-minute game. Wayne Pineault (201-834-1094) AT&T Information Systems Holmdel, NJ
