Interested in playing chess by mail with partners around the world, many of
whom don't speak English? The Esperanta ^Sak-Ligo Internacia is organized
to help you do exactly that, using the international language Esperanto.
For more information, write: E^SLI, ^Zi^zkova 197, CS-533 03 Da^sice,
Czechoslovakia. (The '^'s go over the following letters.) E^SLI also
allows non-Esperanto-speakers to participate in their tournaments, although
I don't know how such arrangements can be made unless you speak Czech.
Learning enough Esperanto for simple correspondence about chess should be a
matter of a few weeks of occasional spare-time study. The simplest way to
get started with Esperanto is by the free correspondence course offered by
the Esperanto Information Center. For the first lesson, send an SASE to:
Verda Stelo, 410 Darrell Road, Hillsborough, CA 94010, USA; or reply to me
by e-mail for an ascii version.
[An announcement along these lines may have appeared here some months back;
if so, sorry for the repetition.]
