How about using this newsgroup to arrange electronic postal games and/or tournament? Anyone interested?

I'm interested in playing postal chess over the net. If anyone else is interested, let me know, maybe we can start a small tournament

Are you guys planning to send out all the moves of all the games to everybody? Personally, I hope otherwise. I see enough net traffic as it is. You are perfectly able to play, as far as I am concerned, just spare me the play by play. Summaries are just fine.

Postal chess participants are discouraged from flooding net.chess with results.
A much better approach would be if participants *finished* their game and then
sent in the game result. Thus at the end of each round a complete transcript
of the games scores and the current tournament score of the players would be
posted. Thus for a four round tournament that would mean 4 items of news
posted. This would enable players examine their future opponents games and
arrive at conclusions on how they may play there future games. It would also
eliminate net.chess from a deluge of news items of half finished games.
(Such an event would be depressing - who wants to see half finished games? )
In any case **PLEEZ** do not send your half finished games as *news items*.
Over the coming weeks we will develop a mechanism (i.e. - somebody to send
your games to - probably Lance) to develop a "Newsletter" for each round (4).
